What do/did you do for a living?

Respect to all those working and dont quit if you are making money and enjoy what you are doing.

High End Audio importer, for recording studios and home audio.

Counselor for the physically handicapped, certified insane, then the blind, then sociology research and teaching, followed by solving mostly mentally deranged, middle aged men's mental crises by selling and financing them on the Harley's of their dreams.  I sold my family physician, his son, and their wives, 8 or 10 or so, after he crashed his plane and wanted to avoid such danger.  He was not one of the particularly deranged ones.

I am a Pharmacist, now semi-retired.  While I make a decent amount of money (100,000+ per year) I still cannot afford this stuff new.  Purchasing used equipment is the only way I can feed my beast.

I'm a trial lawyer with several famous rock bands as clients over the years.  My dedicated music room is small -- 11x11x11, but it is my go to place at night to have a medicinal hit and chill after a generally long and stressful day!  Sometimes its weird to listen to some of my favorite albums from the 70's, having now represented the bands when I became an adult (sort of, I suppose.  I never really grew up, LOL).  My system hasn't reached the idea that I have in my head about what it should sound like, but its up there!  I think that that idea was formed when I was about 16 in '74 and listed to a Mark Levinson pre and power amp, some killer turntable and speakers that I recall looking like Quads at Natural Sound in Framingham, MA and my recollection is that it sounded just like the band was right in front of me.  I'll never get rid of that image!
