    What your Pet says about your career...

    I found this article on cnn.com

    http://www.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/12/08...iref=allsearch


    One of the most interesting points is: "Workers who own snakes or reptiles are the most likely group to earn six-figure salaries"

    Might be a useful defense for relatives that say "Why don't you just get rid of those snakes!"

    Re: What your Pet says about your career...

    Interesting statistic, but I'm betting most of us that bring in six figures don't do it BECAUSE of the snakes.... Still might come in handy as a comeback to those comments about needing to get rid of the snakes, though!

    Yeah I don't think it was meant to imply BECAUSE of the snakes. I think its just a personality/job preference thing.

    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"

    Don't forget that we're probably the weirdos when it comes to people who have reptiles as pets.

    I'd bet 99 out of every 100 people who have a reptile as a pet don't intend to breed them, yet it seems that almost all internet forums are filled with people who are in the hobby of propagating various species.
