What do/did you do for a living?

I do university admissions consulting, and co-own a SAT prep/tutoring company, also a private debate academy. 

Clients are Chinese mainly, they are the only ones seemingly with the money and desire to spend big on their kids' future... this is really really scary personally as over the last 20 years I have become convinced the Chinese will one day supplant us white folk and rule the world.

On a more pleasant note, I charge them big money which allows me to buy $$$ hifi gear.

I studied psychiatry, and work now for a Italian company as medical-pharmaceutical rep. in Belgium. Live alone and “music” is my life.:”The first, the last, my everything” My best friends ,2 brothers (Tom and Jef) build high-end speakers (Ilumnia Magister). Music is our passion. My equipment is about 90k. 

Electrical Engineer been working for utilities all across the nation - current home in Southern California.  Had turntables (low quality) since I was a kid.  Love affair with music started then and continues.

Good old IBM mainframe assembler programmer.

Worked as a machinist, welder, bridge bolt maker, automotive mechanic, went to Collage to become a system analyst, minor in programming in computer's and the last 32 years at our water company as my final position as chief Superintendent of wastewater! I started with tube amps when I was a kid and now figure my system is around 30 to 40,000.00 in amps, speakers and such! Extremely happy with my system and always looking for better!
