What's your job? Full time coral farmer

Why or why don't you love it? I love it most days. Some days aquariums will be aquariums and I have to just suck it up and deal with it. It always amuses me when people assume since we are commercial that we don't deal with the same nuisances that hobbiests deal with.

What is your dream job? I'm doing it. This has been a dream for over 20 years.
 
I work in boat upholstery. Sitting behind a computer all day mostly now adays used to do alot more on the actual work floor but have moved up into the digital aspect of things.

Its a decent job... I will admit that I kinda miss the Infantry life though.

my dream job would be something in the woods or something with animals. I may very well be looking into a change in the near future but for now gotta make ends meet.
 
Yes. I’m a cashier. I love meeting people. I’m the one who always asks about their pets if I see animal supplies.
 
Who doesn't love raising and breeding livestock?? I'm also a artist and make my own hours, around the livestock lol. I make the decisions and if it doesn't work no one to blame but myself.

The biggest benefit is sitting outside and watching the livestock graze and the babies play every day. Very relaxing and satisfying.
 
I love my job. There are certain parts I hate. I work urban EMS in a high crime/violence and heavily populated area and I'm night shift. I'm salty and more than a little jaded but I wouldn't do anything else. This is my dream job. I worked very hard to get here. And so far it been worth it.
