In the most vague way possible what kind of desk job has supported that watch collection?

I am an attorney but it has nothing to do with my watch collection. I have told the story before but all my watch collection came from selling off most of my collection of manual wind Daytonas. I bought them during college, law school, and my early career when used dealers literally had to give them away. As the story goes an Italian magazine published a Picture of Paul Newman with his Rolex 6239 on and it started the rocket-like increase in their value.

At one time I probably had the largest most complete collection of manual wind Daytonas in the US but I bought them saving beer money. I probably owe a thank you to all the guys I bummed beer off of during college.
