I'm 25 and an underwriter for a title insurance company. I have quite a modest system at somewhere around $5k retail and much less used. Luckily, I spend what little I can afford to upgrade as much as possible. I'm only a few short weeks away from that new record brush.
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...
