How do your support your aquarium habit
 
OK I saw this on another board but thought it was kinda neat to see where other people work and what they do for a living. If it's been done on this board before and I just couldn't find it just send me a tiger torch to flame myself! LOL
I'll start. I do community relations work for a company called Canadian Natural Resourses (Oil and Gas company for those folks that don't know) A lot of my work is working with First Nation communities on consultation and different initiatives. I also work with local and rural cities and communities.
My area includes all of NE British Columbia, some of NW Alberta and both the Yukon and NW Territories.
Anyone else curious? :lol:

Hi, what fun. I'm the director of an IT Network and Security team for the Alberta Gov't. But I try to pay for my saltwater addiction through profits from my other hobby, poker.

So far, so good...

I'm an academic tutor. My students have ranged from Gr.1 and all the way up to Master's degree students. I tutor pretty much any highschool subject except Calculus, Mandarin & French (although I've had to teach Cal & Fr before). For my college/university students, I mostly teach/help them with understanding their English, History, Business, Sociology & Criminology courses.

Before that, I was a fish farmer & I was responsible for feeding 3.5 million salmon smolts (juv.) but gave that up after blowing out my knee.

I am a marine engineering technician in the Navy, getting spec2 pay and sea pay. problem is the equivalent civilian counter part is making over 100K a year for the same thing and doesn't have to deploy. don't get me wrong we are making way better money than we did in the late 80's early 90's but this is the reason they are not atracting enuf people to keep my trade at the numbers they want.
