What do caudata owners do for a living?

I'm retired. However, prior to everyday just being one long weekend, my career path included hospital administration, academia and clinical research...pharmacologist (doctorate) by background and ambystomatid-crazed by a passion that has spanned more than 50 years.

well, I don't even have TV reception where I live but that doesn't stop me from watching too many geek shows on DVD. I like watching House and re-watching Star Trek NG and classic movies; usually it runs on my computer while I fiddle with newts or paint watercolors or clean the house or wash dishes.

...and a certain villainous forum member who shall not be named has turned me on to that Game of Thrones thing, so I got the books now and am anxiously awaiting the DVD release of that show....
 
I'm 17 years old and have no job. lol I love science and nature. I have 3 iranian kaiser newts, three shanjing (which were supposed to be kweichows), one keeled box turtle, yellow margined box turtle, painted river terrapin, indian spotted pond turtle, alligator snapping turtle, and several three toed box turtles...plus one of their kids.

Caring for all that's an all day job!!!
 
Dawn, you're WAY cooler than 'a nurse'. Not that there's anything wrong with nursing.

I'm 28, originally from Michigan, with a degree in Wildlife Management from Michigan State and a degree in Animal Biology. My partner is a roofer/construction/mechanic/house husband/whatever needs to be done, and we're nomads. We're usually in a new state every year, mostly because my work takes me all over the place. Sometimes we take the critters with us, sometimes they live with their 'aunt', my unbiological sister/BFF.
 
Im 18, i work in a nightclub, whilst being the mayor of geektown studying games design and development at college, in my spare time im also a pro gamer, Kidding but i spent like 5 years on 1 game. >< oh and when the club isnt busy i sit and do crosswords.

i think pokemon subliminally made me get an axolotl when mudkip and wooper were spotted.
 
Wow, I only read some but was interesting to see all the different responses!

I agree that we are geeks in this house. Definitely.

I am 20, work full-time as a Nursery nurse with 21/2 to 4 year olds, I also babysit/childmind some evenings and work part time as a Web Designer/Developer in the other evenings, so I'm a busy bee. I also offer my services occasionally at parties as a facepainter and also help out my partner in his on-the-side business endeavour in hiring out TARDIS's and Daleks on some weekends.

But in the spare time I so often don't have (for example, I really shouldn't be on here, I'm in the middle of a bunch of stuff :rolleyes:) I play a lot of computer games, I tidy and clean the house, enjoy geeky board and card games like Cosmic Encounter and Magic The Gathering with my housemates, and we also play Dungeons & Dragons with 4 other friends of ours on Monday evenings..! I also (rarely) get my paints out and have a mess around pretending I am le artiste!

:proud:

Oh. And I love making lists!
 
Well i prefer to call myself "Purveyor of Fish" my wife calls me fish monger, the kid calls me the dude that always has wet hands, my sister calls me Mr. Fishy, but for the most part i sell tropical fish ;D
 
Hey guys, some interesting responses so far ;)

I'm 22, attend Eastern Michigan University, and I'm a supervisor at a phone center. Some people collect as a hobby, I collect hobbies. I'm always dragging some new project home (much to the dismay of my girlfriend). But usually if I'm not out herping, I'm out fishing or geocaching.
 
I work as a credit analyst. Boring desk job!

In my free time I like TV series, movies, but most of all Role Playing Games, for which I have been a freelance author a few times. So yeah, pretty much a geek here too :D
 
the tally so far: nurses. biologists, geeks. :D

keep going, folks!

Thanks, Kaysie! I like to think so too. But that IS how I earn my bread and butter. Or should I say, my TaB and pop-tarts.
 
nurses are cool. I teach a lot of pre-req classes to ongoing nurses. I make sure to treat everybody real nice in case one of them will end up taking care of me when I land in the hospital :D
 
I work in Customer Relations for a very well known digital photographic company dealing phone calls, emails and returns.
I am 56 years old Married with 2 grandsons who love my 6 Axies and a vast amount of other animals including 7 parrots and a collie dog
 
During the day I am a stay at home dad but a security officer by night. And somewhere in between all of that I take care of the zoo in my house.
 
I am 53 years old, married. I am a biologist and a geologist. I have been working for the last 27 years at The University of Texas at El Paso as a supervisor in the Chemistry Department. Yes, I am part of the inventory now and I am scanned every year :eek:.
 
I'm 22 and a research student in musicology at Bristol University. I look at reeeally old bits of parchment and say meaningful things about dots. Guess that puts me in the geek camp. I have a bit of a zoo in my house.
 
I am an Animator. 3D and 2D, but 3D Is the industry at the moment.

I only have axolotls. none of this morphing busines :D
 
I used to work with animals in several fields, It got to the point it wasn't making me happy and the way people treat their animals is mostly depressing.

So NOW I drive forklift, unloading/loading semi trailers and shipping cans.
Sounds menial, but it more then pays the bills :D

And it gives me plenty of time to zone out/ geek out and think about possible breedings and their outcomes lol
 
Im a mother of 5(3 boys and 2 girls), so I do all those boring jobs around the house and when im not being a Mum, I work at a secondary school. I work in the RTC (this is where the disruptive students get sent) and together we work out how to change their behaviour. I hanve 19 axies, 1 22yo cat, 4 goldfish, 150ish cherry shrimp and 1 husband.
