What is your occupation?

[ficklefins]

It's always interesting to me how a persons background or occupation relates if any to this hobby.

So what do you do?

- I am a GIS analyst, so my work focuses on anything that either takes up physical space, or represents something that takes up a space and relates to the physical environment.

I am willing to bet that 100% of the people on here have used some sort of GIS function in their lives. From the location of where you purchased fish, to the tracking of your shipments.

Beside coral sales I have a Home Inspection company. Put the two together and it takes up more time than I would like. But, I enjoy both of them and thats what matters.

[cveverly]

Industrial electrician. Worked in the IT field for a while but hated being in management so I went back to electrician. No ties to the hobby.

EDIT: I used to co-own a LFS back in the early 80s. Sold out because the other owner wanted to expand and I did not have the time. He bought two other stores and started directly importing. Started a huge wholesale business and supplied a well known chain. He sold that and bought a software company. Sold the software company just before the tech bubble busted and netted 26 million dollars. Now he sits on the beach and I am still working away. Timing is everything. :smile:
