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.

Former web designer/graphic artist - college degree in Australia
Also built loudspeakers, cables at a boutique speaker manufacturer reasonably famous in Australia - unknown in USA.

Currently working in the Permian Basin oilfield in Texas as an automation programmer and technician, with a college degree in electronics technology and instrumentation.
Former PE/Health teacher and coach of several sports for 37 years in the middle school along with running the intramural program for the last 27 years of my job.  Loved it all and also listening to music.  The better it sounds, the more pleasurable it is.  I've been very blessed in the last 5-7 years as I had a long term plan and I'm finally getting there.  The room is almost completed and is quite cool and sounds fantastic as does the rig.
I thank God for the used audio sites and times I've been very lucky to secure something for very little money or an even exchange with a fellow 'phile.

I worked as nephrologist for 40years and now retired.  Listening to my music in my audio room every night while  seeping scotch before I go to bed kept me sane.
