I graduated college and work as an engineer right now. I have a lot of fish and a couple birds. I like to tinker with cars and guns. Picked up the fish bug from my uncle when i was about seven and still going strong.

ooohh, i enjoyed seein what other people were in to...amazing how many of us students there are! lol
amazing we can afford fish let alone care for ourselves!

I know. I'm a student too and between my fish, herps, other hobbies and school, I'm pretty much broke.

Like I said, I'm a student. I'm a second year Field Biology major (well, field bio isn't an actual major, it's really just general bio and you take classes that teach you field work techniques as opposed to lab techniques). I'm also a part-time employee of Jack's Aquarium and Pets (small Ohio-area chain), a part-time employee of my school (at this very moment, I'm manning the front desk of my residence hall), and I'll also hopefully start being a TA (teaching assistant) for some courses-probably starting next year (primarily Ichthyology (fish ) maybe others)-as another part-time job. After undergrad, I plan to go one and eventually get a doctorate in some biological field.

My non-fish hobbies include herps and other animals, music, and a little graphic arts-among other random things. My herps are in my signature. I also have two cats and an Australian shepherd. As far as music, I listen to music almost constantly, I play trumpet (have for 10 years, don't much anymore), guitar (for about 3 years now, and I have 4 guitars including a bass), I'm teaching myself a little piano, and I'm a pretty mediocre drummer (but my dad has drummed since high school, so I play an awesome '70-71 vintage Slingerland set), and I do a little reording, but I need to get some better recording hardware before I can really finish any songs. I've also really been into art whether drawing, painting, sculpting, whatever, since I was really young and if I wasn't a Bio major, I'd probably be a graphic design major or something along those lines. At this point though, the most art-oriented stuff I do is random drawings in my class notes. I think my favorite thing I've done to this point is a big Johnny Cash portrait collage/charcoal drawing I did for my freshman art class in high school...


I also apparently like talking about myself as my post is about 9 times longer than anyone else's...lol

amazing we can afford fish let alone care for ourselves! although i said on another post that my fish kinda comes before anything, iv even given up my tatts and piercing for a year or so....and that hasnt happened since i was 9!

i actually cut down on outings and other hobbies to save money for fish.

Well, like so many more than i expected. I too am a student. I currently attend the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. I'm in the first year of a Master's program studying fish in lakes in arctic Alaska. I spend about two months a summer at Toolik Lake, AK. It's about 200 or so miles north of the Arctic Circle.

As for work, I am a bio professor at UNCG, teaching general bio to non-biology majors. I plan on getting some part-time work at a LFS to support the habit. I've worked at a Bass Pro Shop, a BJ's wholesale club, as a biological intern at an environmental engineering firm, and my favorite jobs to date, were giving tours and being a mate on fishing boats in Ocean City, MD.

As for hobbies, beside the fish in my tanks, are fish everywhere else. I'll be heading off for a PhD in ichthyology once the masters is all finished up. I also play Lacrosse and Football (like the brit's not us americans haha). I do a lot of hunting and fishing when I have the time. I also play guitar and mandolin. I surf whenever I can get to the coast. I've recently gotten a DSLR camera too, so I'm getting back into photography.

Guess I wrote a lot too.....lol
