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...

I'm a Service Manager @ a General Motors dealership. I'm 46 and plan to retire (this life anyway) at 55. I'm then going to open up my own hi end audio store and live happily ever after.

I'm 51 & publish a hotel/resort directory. Enjoyed music all of my life - play piano. When I was a kid, my dad had an old Zenith "hifi" and played classical records. I'm new to hi-end - my small system is $11K retail and cost about $6K thanks to audiogon. Happy listening. Joel
