 I'm bored and genuinely just curious what the majority of us do for a living. I thought it would be cool if everyone shared their occupation or what do they do for a living. 

 

 

Personally I'm a Coordinator for a Brewing DC that produces all the top brand name alcohol you see in stores and bars today.  Plus I do a ton of other things, like building websites for people and in rare cases, small businesses. I have partial ownership and full ownership of  a few online companies. Some that are doing well, and others that aren't.  This does not include my brand BioScorpion that I have recently ventured into.  As well in a more healthy economy I am a day trader.  And last but not least, is my favorite source of income,  Sports Gambling. Specifically the NFL, which I spend almost 10+ hours a week on during the Regular Season. I could almost tell you every individual on every 53 man roster. On a typical weekend I make money, however on bad days I have lost thousands.

Currently a high schooler taking wayyy too many advanced classes and not enough therapy. Would like to become a marine biologist and study deep sea ecology someday, or an entomologist specializing in hymenopteran insects.

Oh, an Entomologist that would be cool! 


 Why keep ants that aren't found in your yard?

There are so many fascinating ants right were you live!

I disagree with the keeping/buying of ants that are not found in your area.

I'm still a student but I do have a job. I am a youtuber that does stuff related around animals that are cold blooded so snakes, ants, and wasps and will soon create my music channel and gaming channel. And then I also am a musician on Facebook. I also sell insects, bugs, formicaria, snakes, etc. at a reptile expo here in Grand Rapids. So that's what I do (Doesn't mean I'm not happy about where I've gotten in life). Nothing really cool. Some of the people here though have some really cool jobs.

I'm bored and genuinely just curious what the majority of us do for a living. I thought it would be cool if everyone shared their occupation or what do they do for a living.



Personally I'm a Coordinator for a Brewing DC that produces all the top brand name alcohol you see in stores and bars today. Plus I do a ton of other things, like building websites for people and in rare cases, small businesses. I have partial ownership and full ownership of a few online companies. Some that are doing well, and others that aren't. This does not include my brand BioScorpion that I have recently ventured into. As well in a more healthy economy I am a day trader. And last but not least, is my favorite source of income, Sports Gambling. Specifically the NFL, which I spend almost 10+ hours a week on during the Regular Season. I could almost tell you every individual on every 53 man roster. On a typical weekend I make money, however on bad days I have lost thousands.

pretty sweet and you can have a nice scotch during success

Unfortunately the "top brands" out there I won't drink. Most of the popular stuff is crap in a can. And I work for a brewery, not a distillery.  If we have anything that sits for more than a year it goes bad, but scotch just gets better with age.
