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.

My last boss used to ask me that 'what do you do for a living?' question all the time....🤣

I feel your pain. Am 60 and have been a hospital based physician for 8 years now, after practicing traditional internal medicine for 17 years. Worked seven straight months on COVID unit pre-vaccination. Don’t see myself retiring before 67. My Audio Research gear was bought used 10 years ago. Bought new Focal 1007Be and stands for ~$3500 on a good deal from Music Direct at that time and they remain in my main system.
