    Possible new job!

    I might start working pretty soon at...the local Big Al's Aquarium Services!

    I've always been satisfied with the one here in my town, the reptiles and fish recieve excellent care and are always healthy and well socialized. Even the chameleons are friendly, and the reptile staff know their stuff and are always open to suggestions.

    Well, one of their staff is leaving, and they offered me his position. I think I'll take it if the pay is right, I'd love to be able to take care of reptiles and talk to people about them all day

    Re: Possible new job!

    Hey that's awesome to hear!

    I wish I'd looked at a reptile shop for a job back when I was in high school.. I know I can't get paid enough working at one with my current living situations but I'd love it.

    I agree. Most of us sacrifice a little bit of happiness to get a little more pay. There's no substitute for doing something your really enjoy and getting paid for it. As long as it's enough to keep your checking account in the black, you should take right away!

    I hope it all works out for you! I just started working at a local reptile shop and it is a very rewarding experience. I'm learning so much and having a ton of fun. You will really enjoy yourself.
