    What does everyone do for a living?

    I often wonder what everyone on here does to be able to afford their herp pets/hobby. I realize some people turn it into a business but what about the other regular joes/janes, professionals ect.?

    I am a secretary for a busy paving Company.

    Hubby works for Rutgers, I coupon and budget and get free samples to cut back on spending. I use rebates, call companies directly and ask about products. Or I send hand written letters, and generally can get coupons for my efforts. I also stalk a listing site and a freebie site looking for second hand gear that can be sanitized.

    i make my own cleaners and sometimes sell hand knitted or crocheted items to supplement income.

    Re: What does everyone do for a living?

    When I was on the ambulance or in the E.R. families were always appreciative of my services. Sometimes people would write letters of appreciation and my partner and I would receive commendation letters from supervision. Whenever I mention what my career was nowadays people are always appreciative. People mostly remember 9- 11.
