I’m 13, and really want a career in autmotive engineering/design.
I’m crazy about cars, especially supercars and hypercars. I’d love to incorporate my love for cars and my love for design, but I want a really well paid job too.
My dream is to become head of Porsche (the best paid executive in Europe!).
Any idea how to achieve the dream , and how much a normal automotive engineer at a company like Audi or Porsche would make?

And you asked this in engineering as opposed to Careers?
You’re quite lucky that I saw this question, because I’m 16 years old, and last year I had a careers convention at my school. I was given a ‘Careers Directory.’ I can tell you that average salaries for automotive engineers is in the range of £19,000 to £22,000, which equates to about $28,000 to $32,400.
I don’t know how much someone working at Audi or Porsche would make on average, though.
an automotive engineer makes as much as he or she can beg from the government. dirty beggars. that is not a respectable career to aspire to. get a real job. even a trash collector or a door to door vacuum cleaner salesperson has to earn each dollar. auto engineers just make car ads showcasing their fantasies about what they think people want them to do, and then try to pretend that’s what they are doing by playing fast and loose with words and images. then they get on their yachts and have a video conference call with bought politicians and beg for a few billion more.
Sorry for the huge review, but I’m really loving the new Zune, and hope this, as well as the excellent reviews some other people have written, will help you decide if it’s the right choice for you.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
Between me and my husband we’ve owned more MP3 players over the years than I can count, including Sansas, iRivers, iPods (classic & touch), the Ibiza Rhapsody, etc. But, the last few years I’ve settled down to one line of players. Why? Because I was happy to discover how well-designed and fun to use the underappreciated (and widely mocked) Zunes are.
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
Apple now has Rhapsody as an app, which is a great start, but it is currently hampered by the inability to store locally on your iPod, and has a dismal 64kbps bit rate. If this changes, then it will somewhat negate this advantage for the Zune, but the 10 songs per month will still be a big plus in Zune Pass’ favor.
If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
