i was just going through the post, and noticed someone saying that finance directors earn 8-20k a month, and work 70-80 hrs, and that youll never get rich off of it. i have to disagree. some parts of the auto business do require long hours, but then again i know bmw and mercedes and porsche SALESPEOPLE making in excess of 200,000 a year. i even know some vw salespeople who make over 100,000 a year. and they dont work all that hard. the name of the game is brand loyalty, and after you establish yourself you get the repeat business. in terms of finance directors making 8-20k a month, that may be true in a low level dealership, but i assure you it is not uncommon to have a income in excess of 500,000 a year. director of finance is the most profitable position in a dealer. it was also my position, and id work 5 days a week, 9-5, maybe to 6, take off early on fridays, and sometimes come in on a sat for an hour or 2. but very rarely. finance managers make substantially less, 100-180k depending on the dealer. the only way you will make more money than that is if you opened your own brokerage business. in the end, the auto business is a tough job, but can be very profitable. and i dont care who you are, even on the low end of the spectrum, there are many doctors and lawyers out there not making anywhere near 10,000 a month. take it from me, i see their credit apps and reports.
 
i dont work for them anymore. its not the only dealer i worked for, and i had the same hours all along. besides anyone making that kind of income works long hours. gm's also come and go, good f and i people stay forever. most secure job in the business.
 
Well it seems that I am the only yacht broker in the group so far. Trust me as far as job perks go the boat business is hard to beat. I just returned yesterday from leading 10 boats down to the keys for 4 days. Oh and did I mention that it was a company boat?, company gas?, and company credit card? Then I got to hang out with 10 of my customers that hopefully will be purchasing newer boats that will fund the new mods that just "have" to be done.

Hey guys, you all have some interesting jobs it seems. Right now I'm currently between my sophmore and junior year in college working on an undergrad degree in Business. What do you think is the best choice for my concentration, because i have to decide by the end of this year. I was a retail salesman and installer of car audio/video electronics for 4 years through highschool, I wanted to major in Mechanical engineering, but I know i couldn't handle the calculus, so now I'm in Business. Now have had a part-time job for the past year as a sales rep for an independent marketing firm for companies like Kenwood USA, Bellogetti home entertainment furniture, Audiovox and Cerwin Vega to name a few. The problem is that I like my job and I do alot of fun things, get to travel alot, drive show cars etc, but I don't make squat, and I won't make much more if i go fulltime after i graduate. And I want to purchase an NSX or a downpayment on a house soon after college. My current concentration is MIS/Marketing, what do you guys think be the best bet for when I graduate in a year or two, considering the state of the current economy? thanks
