What's Your Profession?

Very interesting thread. I'm 60 and a retired educator after 35 years in the classroom. Loved it. BS and Masters +. Now I work in two family owned small business ventures. Fell in love with the Mustang when I saw it as a kid at the NY Worlds Fair and owned a 65 Stang as my first car. Six BMW's have graced my garage over the years- the 2015 Mustang will be joining my current BMW soon.

I guess being 66 makes me the "new old guy" in this thread.

I'm a retired engineer, officially so as of last November, unofficially somewhat earlier due to layoffs in the office (which has since closed entirely).

I spent about 8 years designing equipment foundations and other structural components on DLGN's (now known as CVNs), Nimitz-class carriers, and Los Angeles class submarines. Worked on a couple of unique items. For most of the rest of the next 35 years I worked in the nuclear power plant business, mainly as a pipe stress analyst.

It's still a little soon for me to be seriously looking at a new car, but I'm interested in following developments. Our buying cycle runs around 6 or 7 years, and I haven't even finished tweaking my 2008 GT yet. My wife has a 2010 Subie (that I just bought a set of Bilsteins for).

My dad worked in the nuclear power plant business as well. He was with SWEC (Stone & Webster Engineering Corporation) for 30 years. I worked there for 6 years. Quite the industry. My dad is 68.

I wasn't but my dad was there many a time. He made lots of trips up to the Boston office as well. We both finished up our SWEC careers in the Atlanta, GA office.

My dads initials were TTA....Maybe that rings a bell. If not, I will PM your his name to see if you knew him.
