Fisheries is one of my degrees and that was the career I wanted when I was younger. Personally I'm glad I didn't make a career in fisheries. I do enough fisheries related work too keep me interested, but I'd get bored if that is all I did. I get to skip the math and most of the grunt work.

Do you specialize in a particular area? Some of the Wildlife Biologists I work with seem to specialize or at least excel on a certain aspect of their job. For example one of the Biologists really likes working with waterfowl habitat while another specializes in whitetail diseases. I so a lot of work with wetlands. Being located near the Great Lakes I like to work on spawning habitat of warm water species particularly northern pike.

I'm another desk jockey. I work for the big B as an "Airworthiness and Certification engineer". Basically I chat on the phone, play on a computer and send a bunch of email to the FAA to keep airliners in the air safely and legally. Lately, i spend a lot of time making sure people dont get out of line on their computer stuff. So I guess I'm not unlike a forum moderator. It has had some intense and fascinating times, but overwelmingly it has become boring. I guess thats good for the flying public, so you guys should be happy I'm bored .
My wife is another engineer. As we near retirement, I want to do what DonF does more and more.

I am a mechanic at a nuclear power plant, I work on large pumps and valves mostly.

I'm a overhead power lineman for orange & rockland utilities in southern ny.

What is a network marketer and what do you do?


I work as an insurance adjuster - best part is I work from home. Though Im pretty much maxed out in this career so want to move on to something else. Preferably real estate investment. Though saving $$ is the hard part. Have one rental but just found out having a child in May so thinking my hopes of buying another property in the next year or two got dashed and put on the back burner.

I got retired a few years back and I am now a Professional Layabout whenever my wife will allow it.

I work for the BLM as a fisheries bio. Though lately I think they should change my title to "fisheries bureologist" because most of my work is saving fish one document at a time. I think when I retire I would like to move to the upper midwest or southeast where fish are for catching and eating not just for protecting.
