Our resident expert on water toxology. Applause. And what a cool life experience to share with us. They actually all are here on this thread. What a great idea for a topic!When I became too old for my first occupation, I went back to school for microbiology and chemistry (20 previous years in the aquarium hobby had given me a lot of the basics), after finishing my degree I ended up a water chemist/microbiologist for a large water supplier. And although this didn't necessarily add any more to my basic income, it did give me access to the latest water testing technology, and equipment, gear like digital spectrometers and high end microscopes that cost more than my truck, not a bad way to go.
Hopefully you'll get a company discount. I would hope so. Though not sure if appropriate to bring it up during interview. Now month paid vacation, I'd ask for THAT when applying. (Kiiiiding.)I am very close to applying at my lfs during the winter months (slow season) as part time , more to learn than for the $. But I have a sneaky suspicion I will end up spending more than I make if I do it. Lol
Yes it’s a 25% discount, already looked into it. LolHopefully you'll get a company discount. I would hope so. Though not sure if appropriate to bring it up during interview. Now month paid vacation, I'd ask for THAT when applying. (Kiiiiding.)

I run pretty high pressure corporate team building events. Fish keeping is one way I relax and maintain at least a bit of sanity. I also act as Celebrant and have married tons of couples on lovely island beaches, with these also helping to fund my aquarium adventures.
