Talking What Do You Do For A Living?

I know we're all crazy about aquariums, but what do we do for living? I'm sure most of us will say something related to aquariums anyways

I'm just starting to work on my major in Environmental Engineering and I work at a few retail stores here and there. On my free time, I relax with my partner and play video games. (what am I doing here? )

I'm curious to know. Discuss.

FinaNcial analysis and forecasting for strategic customers for a fortune 50 drug company. Not as cool as it sounds but I like it. High stress so a couple hours a week sitting in front of the aquarium per week does wonders for stress reduction.

I've been a retail manager for several years, and now I am retired due to health. So I guess fish are my business now.

I'm a machinist by night and sloth by day. Somewhere in there I deal with my animals. This winter I plan on breeding my Ball Python (Royal Python for you Europeans). So hopefully I will make a little money at that. Any time I have left is spent tinkering with whatever I happen to tinkering with at the time (currently a broken PC that I would like to make into an IPCop).
