I took honors biology 2 in high school for college credit. This was how the class went-
teacher: "well I have to turn in grades. I'm just going to ask you guys questions and you tell me the answer and I'll give you an A."
I was like- ok? She didn't even ask each person a question... But everyone got an A. Slacker teacher! I wish it would have been a little more challenging. Then I might have actually learned something. All I learned was that cutting the skull cap off of a fetal pig almost made me vomit.

From August to May I work at Texas A&M Corpus Christi with the Harte Research Institute as well as the general Biology department. When I was still in school up until last year I worked with Texas Parks and Wildlife in the Fisheries department - I was in the hatcheries program working on game fish stocking and sustenance in the lower Gulf Coast, before that I worked in the fisheries genetics lab at the HRI. I did that gig from the year after my bachelors to the year after my masters. I am not sure if I am going to continue here after this year, I am looking into some other avenues so we shall see what happens.
I work part time during the school year and full time during the summer as a customs forwarder for an international relocation company. If someone is moving overseas, I am the one who arranges sea/air freight, port coordination, inland transport, and mainly getting the containers into/out of Customs. During the summers the company moves me up to Houston where I work at the Port. A couple of our largest accounts, Shell and Schlumberger move alot of individuals in/out of Houston so there it is busy busy busy during the summer when everyone is moving. It is interesting work, we can reach out and touch anyone anywhere in the world through our various partner companies.
When I am in Corpus I play bass trombone with a few various regional orchestras, bands, jazz groups, playhouses, etc. It keeps my nights occupied and is probably the thing I enjoy most. I play a few other various instruments when the ensemble requires it (tenor trombone, bass trumpet, tenor tuba, etc.). I have a technical degree in instrument repair and used to dabble in that, but it is on the back burner for the time being.
For the moment those are my occupations as you could call them. In the past I have worked as a wildlife photographer for some magazines, a camera salesman, a research lab scientist, a BMW mechanic, a diver at the Texas State Aquarium, a concert pianist, and who knows how many odd jobs when I was a wee lad in high school.
Time marches on, I'm sure many other obscure professions will creep up on the list as I become a small elderly man.
