Question for all What do you do for a living


I am sitting here with my wife watching New England get beat by Oakland. Yeeehhhhh(I live in Mass also, ooh well)And we are looking at everyones beautiful reef tanks and wonder what does everyone do for a living?
I am a consultant for the largest db and internet s/w company in the world. I guess it is the Oracle of them all.
Just wondering. I wish I had all the knowledge everyone has to get a tank looking like all of yours. I only have a 30 Reef and a 55 Fish only which may slowly turn to a reef tank in about 10 years.
Thanks. Keep up all the great pictures.

Hmmm, well, lets see. I stopped getting allowance when I turned 13. So I haven't had any steady income for 3 years. Sometimes I cut neighbors' lawns, but that doesn't really compare to "missile and radar guidance systems for the F-22, F-18, and F-16"

But I guess I could say what I want my future to be (hang on I all over the place here)

Choice 1: Go to military academy (Westpoint?) and go on to Army or Marines as an officer. If army the goal would be Rangers.

Choice 2: Go to college and major in marine biology.

Choice 3: Go to college w/ major in something like criminal justice (something lawish) and then go on to law school and then FBI.

Choice 4: Computer programmer/tech/geek. Spend Sundays trying to fix Doug's broken CD drive and attempt to to tell him that the screwdriver will not "teach that **** blinking light a lesson!"

Hey all-

Nice diversity throughout! I am a production supervisor for a custom display and concept shop company. 90% of our clients are in the golf/sports industry, so the fringe benefits are nice. Too bad I don't work for a coral propagation company!! Although my next tank stand will be nice!!
