Metallurgical/materials Engineer, retired 5 years. I spent most of my career determining the best material/metal/polymer to make things out of. I get a chuckle from many of the materials related items in audio, especially tweaks, isolation, and of course, cables.
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.
