What do/did you do for a living?

People's hobbies always seem crazy to others in terms of the time and/or money they put into it. What gives one person pleasure may not make any sense to another.

I have a client who is an actuary and a life-long singer songwriter. He said, "I would be embarrassed if l told you what I spent recording my albums." That's his hobby.

That being said, I am a psychotherapist and executive coach. My hobbies entail multiple expensive purchases of guitars, audio equipment, bicycles and cameras.

Structural CADD draftsman for 30 years. Big audio geek in my youth, just got back into it cuz 1) bought, sold motorcycle to relive my racing youth 2) bought, sold 2 seater convertible cuz it's safer than a bike 3) buying audio equip now to fill consumerism void left by 1) and 2). And loving it.

I own a mid-sized architecture firm but have a large sized equipment collecting habit.  Help!

I went to college for electrical engineering. But am now a maintenance man. HVAC, plumbing, electrical. I'm only working part time these days. Leaves me more time with my system. Very modest system compared to most.
