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.

Union plumber, nearing retirement. An audio enthusiast since i was 12. Married almost 39 years to a very understanding woman. Three daughters are grown, put through college, and out living their lives. Two weddings down, 1 to go.

 Audio is not my only interest, I play some golf, enjoy photography, have a 50 year old Camaro out in the garage, play guitar, and average about 2000 miles a year on my bicycles.
Recently retired attorney. Loved music since youth, some classical training in early youth, discovered jazz, played in various small jazz bands in high school and college.

Retired Air Force and working for Delta Airlines provides audio "play" money. 

Mechanical Engineer, Metallurgist, MBA. 30 years working as a Divisional VP for the global leader in Mechanical Power Transmission products, OE.   

I repair and install medical instruments, microscopes and diagnostic stuff.    

My obsession started around 15 when I saved up all my paper route money and bought a Sansui AU 9900 locally.  Out of the WantAdvertizer weekly .

Then I picked up a pair of Altec Lansing speakers and Technics TT.    Not too long after that I bought my first CD player, actually THE first player , a Sony CDP 101
