Yay for me!

I finally got a job at a pet store! My starting pay is the same as what I was making at my last job and I get to work with fish all day! Since I am the only person there that really knows about fish they already come to me if a customer has a question. I have saved some people from making common mistakes (like try to keep an oscar in a ten gallon tank!). I also get 25% off merchandise. It looks like I am going to be able to get more fish soon!!

Cool, congrats. I considered trying to get a job at Pets at Home but it's too far from me to be economically viable.

I work at a pets at home part time (I am a Nurse but have taken time out from that as the NHS was driving me to depression), I like the job but it does give a sensation similar to banging your head against a brick wall when it comes to anyone hearing you when you see something wrong.

Silver sharks not marked as schoaling fish, etc like we just got upgraded in the last two weeks allowing us to carry more fish species, we have just got in glass fish, with the Pets at home label for above their tank..............which mentions absolutely jack all about them being brackish fish

That's awesome. I'm glad that more people who actually have fishkeeping as a hobby are working in fish stores.

Congratulations, guppymonkey! Hope you enjoy your new job. There is always something new to learn about fish, you will be in an ideal environment to be both the teacher and the student...good luck!

Congratualtions on your new job. My local Pets At Home won't employ me because my sister works there. They won't employ members of the same family.
