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...

I'm in my late 60's and am blissfully retired.  I made my living at a couple of major Hollywood film studios in what is euphemistically called "development."   Ya know the old insult that goes "who's the idiot who told them to make that movie?"  Well, it was me.  I have my share of hits, as well.  Some I'm proud of.  Some of which I'm still amazed they pulled in so much money.   Academy Award winners?  A handful.  My audio system, btw, cost me around the five figure mark.
