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 a 35 year old audio visual service manager for the larget pro a/v integrator in the country here in Detroit. I'm married and a father of three young children. At one point, I had a $25,000 system. Now I have two HT systems that total $5000 and don't listen as much as I would like. I look forward to my kids getting older so I can get away from watching Disney movies constantly....

Electronics Tech, Senior H.E.O., fiberglass manufacturing company. System worth around $25K new, paid around half that amount, some pieces new, most used. I'm vintage 1956.
I'm a 32 year old printer. I've worked a hell of a lot of hours for many years. My system is currently at $32,000. When I was 24 my system was around $12,000, so I guess I've had a high end system from a somewhat early age.
I don't know If anyone else can relate to this but, I noticed that the more expensive my system became over the years, the less time I have to listen....go figure.
