What's your profession? Age?

I'm a chef/instructor at a culinary school and do catering. My system is approaching 21K. I've never considered myself an addictive personality until I entered audio.

Graphic designer/ Signmaker 53 years old.
HT and 2 channel $22K and rising.

I am an aquatic scientist, pretty close to what Swampwalker is, but ten years younger!

I'm a high school student confused what to major in college. I've norrowed my decision to working in my on coming audio adiction, but I'm not sure what profession would best suit me. I'm not srue where to go to college, waht classes to take to better prepare myself. What I do know is I want to work in the audio field, like testing speakers, I know that requires a lot of ear training but I have a good start to that. I've been to a lot of concerts and a lot of bands to better prepare myself for a good start of ear training. But what I need to do is listen to more equipment that falls in the audio/video (A/V) catoegory

Hi, I am an engineer in the aerospace industry with a strong interest in cognitive psychology. I also play the trombone, the piano, the guitar, and had a band when I was in high school and college for 10 years. My interest in music and electrical engineering has made being an audiophile a natural interest. My system has evolved over 30 years and is currently about 40K retail.
