What's your profession? Age?


Just thought after the "how much is your system worth" post that it would be nice to see what all these people do to get $80K systems, and perhaps how long it takes. I'm a 29-year old economist for the gov., just completeed my Ph.D. last month, and my system is at about $10K. Just a pup hoping to keep upgrading...

My profession is software engineering. I'm currently employed as a system architect at a large financial company on the US East Coast. That's a euphemism for saying, they won't let me code anymore, so now I draw lots of diagrams with lines and boxes. But seriously... Oh yeah. My age? 22... in hex:) System wise I am at about $35k and counting - gulp!
ERP Consultant, 33, $3.5K. Started on this hobby 5 months back. Had another system in another country :-)
Im 26 regional manager for a bank. Married with 2 kids 3years and 1 year. Ive got about 25k in my system. I will eventually add a good projector which should shoot me up another 5-10k. But anything could change now that my wife is liking coming down and watching movies.
Software quality assurance. HT/2CH system would retail for about 9k, but I've put it together for about 5K on A'gon. Just finished a purchase this weekend, in fact! =)
