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...

Invested at Retail for HT and 2 Ch about 22K.
Really just completing my first "almost hifi" system in past 15 yrs.
I'm a student at Penn State (Jr.) who is 20 years old.

I've worked in FirstEnergy Nuclear's engineering department the last 2 summers and will return this summer to fuel my audio addiction. My system is currently at ~$3k, but will probably undergo more upgrades this summer.

Another year until I get a real job - then the audio disease will become terminal... now where to find the real job?...
I'm a 20 year old student at University of Waterloo in Canada and have made my ~$3500 system through some damn hard work in competetive swimming. Just started getting obsessed this year now that I'm out of residence. I just hope I can get into med school in the coming years so I can appreciate this hobby even more. I keep trying to upgrade small things here and there but then always end up spending my cash on new music. I'm sure this is not an uncommon problem.
