what is your job

[bmccasland]

Biologist for US Government, currently working on coastal restoration projects and "flood damaged reduction" projects in urban areas. This pays the bills and keeps the furry beasts in kibble.

The other me - renaissance era lace maker (bobbin lace mainly), gardener, cyclist.

Wow!! Someone else does what I do. I'm a biologist too. I restore all kinds of rare Southern CA habitats when another highway, home, school, etc. is built. If an oak tree is wiped out for development, I make sure as many as five more are planted to replace it. I also do rare plant and tree surveys, which means I count plants for a living.

I work for my two feline babies and to indulge my roommate's two dogs. Work also helps support my fiance's undergrad degree in computer engineering. Soon as he graduates, we're getting married and having human babies! We can have kids while he pursues a master's degree right?

I'm a full time Personal Trainer (I own my own In-Home Personal Training business) and then a part-time Fitness Instructor that only teaches indoor cycling classes (5 - 6 weekly), but I can, if asked nicely, sub kick-boxing, sculpting or aqua classes.

I was trained as a bench scientist in genetics and molecular biology but I was not well suited for the emotional ups and downs of research. I never enjoyed it much and I got only a single publication. These days I do informatics database work for the National Cancer Institute.

Another ex-biologist here. Degree in marine biology. Not much for the lab - although I do miss the boat work - and writing papers. I gave it all up for the sure paycheck of a policy job. Oooo...yay me!

I used to do that, too. Mostly worked with commercial crab species, their environments, and predators. I miss the boat work and the lab and the beach work.

Yeah, the pay was pretty iffy and scarey... but the "sampling" of those big juicy red rock and dungeness crabs was mighty fine! *drool*
