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...

Hi, 40 year old mechanic supervisor in the phamacuetical industry. System list at $25k paid $10k. Chstob, if the commodities you're brokering are drugs, that might explain the power cords. Be careful though, Pcc is a cop right above you.
I realize this is not obvious to anyone without a mathematics background. But easy to illustrate. Instead of 6 years, what if the survey had been going on for 60 years? Got it?

Not really, I don't expect that I'll be viewing this thread in another 54 years. :)

Damn....I just realized that I'm now 10 years older than when I first responded to this thread. Getting old sucks.

I'm 45 and a writer of literary fiction and poetry.

You know Calbrs03, Stereophile and TAS are looking for fellows like you.

Ok, I'm a geek. Was wondering if the data in this thread might be useful, so I charted the ages.

Interesting. Only 3 out of 304 responses were age 60+. Now is that representative of the true audiophile population, or does it reflect computer and Internet savvy? Maybe loss of hearing? I really don't know, and am curious to hear your theories and interpretation of the data.

I found it comforting to see so many in the younger 20 to 35 group. Seems high-end isn't going anywhere. The 35 to 55 group is huge.

Have you taken the age of the answers into consideration? For example, this thread is over 6 years old now. When I first replied, I stated that I was 40, I'm 46 now. That would put me into a different category in your 'chart' now. Granted this would take more work, but since you claim to be a geek, you've probably already taken this into consideration. :)
