i wonder if this person is in the right line of work

From CNN.com:
"If they told me at the outset the iPhone would be $200 cheaper the next day, I would have thought about it for a second -- and still bought it," said Andrew Brin, a 47-year-old addiction therapist in Los Angeles. "It was $600 and that was the price I was willing to pay for it."

    At least it's something he knows a lot about.

    A man unaffected by price, impervious to the market. Economically, you don't meet many of those. He might be exactly in the right line of work, if you think about it.

    Jamy: Good observation.

    Anon: Good observation as well. I wonder if someone truly impervious to the market qualifies as a kind of sociopath.

    Lol!
    Depends on the region, I think. And the times. And other lifestyle characteristics.

    Probably we could do a bell curve of individuals impervious to the market.
