    Not looking forward to that either. I always hear residency is where the real grind begins.

    You bet it heals. After a long day of seeing patients, there's nothing like coming home and leaving that all behind while you enjoy the sweet sounds of your system. It's very therapeutic to say the least.

    Tomorrow's problems? That's for tomorrow me to figure out.

    Damn right, I just got done listening to a few records after a crappy pre-call day. Now back to reality with feeding the kiddos and getting them into bed. :)

    Patent attorney here. I'm also fulltime French. Demands a lot of rudeness.

    I work as a research analyst/software engineer in quantitative finance implementing stock models and such for an asset management firm.
    I spend a good chunk of my day listening to music while I work to keep sane.

    That's pretty close to my dream job while I was in college. I was in school for computer animation. I had a business class where I had to do a faux interview, and I pretended to interview for Blizzard ;D

    Started this hobby several years ago as a starvin marvin medical student. Now working around the clock as a resident in the same university hospital I graduated from, with very little time to sit down and enjoy listening to music. Not sure if I could justify owning $10K+ worth of gizmos when I come home only once a week.

    I'm a safety specialist trainee at a major transportation company (I'm sure you can guess which one from my location). I only started working about 3 months ago, so I'm a total newbie.

    LOL, that is what the portable system is for! I am lucky that I studied best listening to music, but good news is you get to have a life again once residency is over and more money too ;)

    Hence the reason I recently got a pair of Andromedas, only to feel bummed by the revelation of new Campfire IEM's a couple days later.

    Yep, waiting to get my life back in 2 years, hoping everything would eventually pay off. Oh wait, after that I'll be dragged into conscription as a medic for another 3 years. One of the perks of being born a healthy Korean male. Thank you, Kim Jong-un.
