Got a Job in Aquaria!!!

[BuffaloPolypteridae]

Figured since its still fish related it should go here, but my moms boyfriend saw a friend of his at the bills game yesterday he hasnt seen in a long time and introduced him to me. He happens to own a custom aquarium shop! and is looking for help!!! Im so pumped, ill be able to have professional help with my own future builds (planning for at least 150 ga in the spring), plus being trained in legit ways to build, acclimate, and probably new connections for fish!

I enjoy my other job, Im a cook at a popular bar and make damn good wings (if your ever in buffalo ask me where to go for the best wings, not the travel channel). I do enjoy that work, but i will literally be excited to go to work now! I love i can say that haha

anyone else work in the industry? How is it?

Congrats! Thats awesome. Too bad I just found out about your wings, Im only an hour away lol.

That's awesome, you bump into somebody who owns a custom aquarium shop and needs help?! That doesn't happen everyday, it's like you won the lottery!

oo exciting. I have actually been thinking of applying to some local fish stores. I am in the finance industry so I barely have time. So trying to get something in the weekends! Good luck mate!

Grats man... but I hope you don't burn yourself out of your passion by doing it all day long.... I always thought doing a job in one's favorite hobby is the fastest way to ruin it...

Sorry..I'm always the devils advocate...

I'd be very wary of that too, my father told me that trying to make a living off his hobby simply made his hobby into a chore, and I've certainly seen it happen. Obviously it works for some people though, good luck with the new venture!

[BuffaloPolypteridae]

Haha thanks all! I hope it works out too, and yeah that end was some major bull! Ugh yeah i hate the pats too, cant wait to see how the dolphins do when they come in the winter

congrats man! Although it is know that after working within your hobby it's common that you grow tired of it, there's also the other side of it. If you love what you do you'll never work a day in your life!
