Now..let's talk about engineering working for government agency..
PE(Professional Engineer) with 6 years out of school working at City of Los Angeles building and safety department. His base salary is $78k/year. That's 78k/2080hr = $37/hr. PLUS excellent benefit. New grad around here (median housing price $380k) make around $55-60k.

However, I have heard there is a CA at Assael BMW(zip 91016) that sold over 160 cars in 2005. He must have made TONs of money..

The point is..money can be made in every profession. It is a question of whether or not you are willing to trade your valuable times for $$ or not.

good point and calculations but I will also get a car for free next year or at most 100 a month so that is more money also. I do get benifits and 401K also where I work as this was important to me when selecting a job. I am sure I could make more money per hour doing something else for a living but I love me job and thats what its about. 160 cars in a year is alot. I should sell about 120 this year give or take a few.
