What do you do?

[McPatch]

Just curious as to what everyone does. to help fund their addiction.At least that is what some may call it.I find myself thinking about reptiles quite abit.....you know the wanting, needing, having to have just one more,then once youget it you say you'll stop for awhile or you could quit anytime......anyways just wondering what you do for a living

[Joe]

Im an Ironworker and my lovely wife is in sales

[Trace]

I'm the curator of a reptile zoo, and everyday I think: "I'm getting paid to play with herps all day!" How cool is that.

It cures my addiction for needing more reptiles as I know how much work it takes on a daily basis... and sometimes I put in alot of long hours there.

But I can not say no to peoples unwanted Chameleons!

Cheers!

I work as a commercial glass estimator by day, and usually by night and weekends I am building cages either for myself or for others.

[Tom P]

I work in the Construction inustry, (Lafarge Construction) and every pay check, My wife and I get 100 bucks each, for whatever we want to buy. This works great, as long as we don't start letting each other borrow our money. Other than that, this system works out great!!!! She's happy, I'm happy, and when she is happy, EVERYBODY is happy! LOL

[Dom]

I am a zookeeper ( With Trace - I have to slap her into place often) ... My job mainly consist of doing educational presentations on the road and Fairs and when I work in the zoo I am generally the entertainner .. I do feedings like feedings .. like a white throat or a burm or a cane toad in front of the public...

Its a fun Job .. I seem to always be the center of attention. Except for that .. I am also the idiot who seems to take care of the animals no one wants to go in the cages with .. I love it ...

Its the best job for me .. although It does not cure my want for reptiles .. I can't stop getting more .. I think Tracey is going to kill me soon, seing that she'll be a new room mate soon .. lol

Take care guys

I work at Fin & Feather Pet Center ( www.fin-feather.com ) a privately owned pet store that has 2 locations. I'm the "Reptile Man" as my boss likes to tell me so I get my fill of reps during the day but if my paycheck isnt spent on CDs I come home with something new :) When a new reptile shipment comes in though I work for free... I dont consider fixing up homes for these reps as work :)

[BIG SCOTT]

I am a sacker a ta Grocery Store and since i have know bills at all to pay all my money goes toward C.D.'s and Reptiles. I enjoy catching my own reptiles though. I think that is more fun than buying them.

[rattekonigin]

I'm a university student...so, needless to say, I have very little money kicking around after tuition and books are factored in, I worked in a retail garden center last school year, but this year I'm looking to do work/study in the Biology department.

I'm a student at Queen's University for eight months, studying geology, and during the school year I have a job at a lab on campus. Every summer before this one I've worked at pet stores as an animal caretaker, a dog groomer or a salesperson. This summer I thought I'd diversify my resume a little and I'm working at an insurance company as a receptionist. Not quite as exciting, but it pays way better.
