How long should a chain last?

A bunch of the seals on my last chain started leaking out the grease so I figured its time for a new one. Only had a few thousand miles on it so I was kinda surprised but I think between riding on the construction sites and all the road salt without proper cleaning caused its ealry demise. I am pushing 5k miles on this current chain and all is well.
