What do/did you do for a living?


With the increasingly high priced items people own and are selling, I'm curious about the line of work people do or have done. I thought my $5k integrated was a massive investment, but seeing users searching for $100k speakers or $75k SET amplifiers has me curious about the varying lines of work people do to afford these items.

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.

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!
