    What do you do?

    While some of y'all on here are breeders, some have whole collections, and others just have 1 or 2 snakes, there's probably more to most of us than just BPs, beardies, iggys, ect.. What's your "9 to 5" so to speak?

    Right now I'm a full-time student and I work part-time. I'm an Early Childhood Education major, and I'm set to graduate in December, if I don't lose my mind first! I'm in one of the first groups to go through this program at my school, because we just became a state college from a community college, and NO ONE seems to know how to run the program, lol. Eventually I want to own and run my own child care center I work on the weekends at a clothing store, and I'm really, really starting to miss working with kids because this is the first time I've ever had a job outside of a daycare. But I intern in the fall, so I will back in the classroom before long!

    Re: What do you do?

    I'm a Loss Prevention officer at Kohl's ECommerce while finishing up my Bachelors degree in software engineering at University of Phoenix. I am a part-time boa and carpet python breeder. I have bred ball pythons in the past, but got out of them due to the fact that I was spending more time breeding rats than I was the balls, and most of my ball pythons were live eaters.

    I was a mechanic for 11+ years, till the shop owner decided his money was worth more to him on things other than our payroll
    I bounced around for almost 3 years trying to find a job I like.
    I couldnt find and HONEST garage, in an area I wanted to work so I break in cars and houses now For the last 4 years I have worked for Pop-A-Lock of San Antonio, I love what I do but being an Assistant City Manager sucks. There is a lot that goes on people dont see and A LOT of poo I have to put up with.
    In the future I am wanting my own business but we need to get out from under our credit card debt first. Would rather start out broke than in the red

    In my past life I was an Account Executive.... I loved it, had so much fun doing it!! I got to work with top CEO's of fortune 500 and up companies. I did not think I would ever leave my career and I loved being a business woman. But now I am so blessed to have the ability to be a stay at home Mom! I am starting an official business....(name pending and soon you will know). It will be of course for breeding but also teaching kids about repsonsible pet ownership and reptiles in general!! I have already been doing several shows and have a large show schedule again for March!!! Nothing like turning children onto new things and seeing their eyes light up when see new things for the first time. Its sooo amazing!!

    Re: What do you do?

    I just stay at home and cook, clean, and maintain my snakes. Nothing exciting here.

    I work in the Gulf of Mexico as a Production Operator for Stone Energy Corporation. I work a 7&7 schedule which means that I work 7 days then I'm off 7 days. In south Louisiana probly 70% of men work in the oilfield industry. The money is great and you only work half the year.
