Hello everyone!

hi everyone! I am new here. So to tell you a lil about myself. I am 26 yrs. old I graduated in 2004 with my Bachelors Degree in Aquaculture and Aquarium Science from the University of New England.... in good old Maine, US. From there I have searched for aquaculture jobs or even starting my own facility raising a few different kinds of shellfish(which I hope to someday). I have worked at a few different places all labs related job and now i work for a company that makes telecommunication cables to connect countries together... not really fish related but i have always loved fish. Its a great job working 3rd shift and it allows me more time with my son...also i am saving to get a home of my own someday soon and then after that ... i want lots of fish!! It works out great b/c i had my son while i was in college and now he LOVES fish almost as much as i do, an angel after my own heart, even to have a fish farm in my back yard would be awesome!!! [dancing]

well that is a lil about me... hope to talk to you all at some point
hope everyone is doing welll!!

 

Welcome

 

Well I started off going to school for marine biology to study the microbiology of everything and ended switching to aqauculture b/c of my advisor and it worked out and I loved it. Needless to say I am in quality control in a lab testing cables for a company b/c it is good work and i am hoping to network with people and hopefully someday work in a facility dealing with my degree... for now i have a good job and it is a good base to jump off of if i ever change my mind.

 

that is awesome, i think my ulitimate dream would be to have my own aqauculture facility with shellfish and possibly as a non profit have a small aquarium that people could come and visit. Something not to have to sell fish b/c i would have the other facility but to have something everyone could enjoy.

Yea i loved school and i realyl enjoyed learning everything about aquaculture and how tos of everything. we even had a classes at the aqaurium in boston... we got to see them and help with putting together the Jelly fish exhibit and we got to see alllllll the behind the scenes of taking care of the fish and critters in the place... i miss going to school now but it is nice to have a steady job and a place where i can save a lil bit.

on a side note i used to work in walpole ma... at seimens medical... interesting place

 

its awesome, I got some amazing pictures of the Jellies... i love jellies lol...

yea rt 1 was always a fun time lol... i used to take it as a "short cut" on the way home... which is in portsmouth NH lol i worked there for 3 months and i was like i have had enough i can't drive this any more! I was only a "temp" working in their Quality Control department as a product support techinicain... i learned a lot there but i knew that i needed to find a better job closer to home.

 

yea taht was rough... but now its only a 5 minute drive so it works... close to a good school too, i was thinking about going back for my microbiology degree and really get a aquaculture facility going
