I have been designing, installing and programming audio video and automation systems for over 20 years. I have given up telling anyone I meet in social situations what I do for a living because inevitably some asshat will want to let me know how awesome Bose is, how you don't have to run any wire in homes anymore because everything is wireless and how if you spent more than a couple dollars on an HDMI cable your just wasting money. I even got to meet with a potential client one time who had their neighbors son join in because he knows everything about AV.. the kid was 12 years old.
