“What do you do for living?” Thread

Hey everyone!

Familiar with those viral videos of someone asking random people driving exclusive cars what do they do for living? Lol

Thought it can really be interesting to know what does the AP community compose from that perspective. Feel free to share if you like.

I’ll start: Own a construction company in the Middle east.

I agree, I too also find this interesting.

I’m a VP, Wealth advisor and CFP®️ Holder at a major wirehouse in the US and my wife is a senior business analyst at the market infrastructure and we are both AP/Rolex owners.

in those vids the guy also asks the follow up: "Cool! How did you get into it!"

=> so if ok i'd ask you how did you get into the construction business and when:)

There are long threads here on this topic.

A search will find them.

Not specific for AP so I may not be good enough?

Thanks for sharing! But yes, I was aiming for AP focused.

I’m a librarian and I have spent my career working in major universities. I DO NOT wear my Royal Oak to work or even out in public, generally. It’s my favorite watch of all, but I generally just wear it at home and enjoy it for myself.

Hobbies are paid from a side gig doing online teaching for a few of hours per week. Job sadly isn't scalable beyond 1-2 APs/year (+ a few Hermes bags to keep the wife onboard).

Marine Corps Officer stationed in Japan at the moment. I wanted to join the military and the other services didn’t appeal to me. I wear my DSSD and AP ROO in uniform; the former is recognized occasionally the latter never is.

Love this. That ROO has to look killer with the uniform.
