> When I reached my early 20's I took a job at a pet store. That began a career I had never imagined. He paid me to get educated, offered me a place for the experience and research. As I studied my way through every species available to the retail market the boss would order as many of those species as possible, providing me with live research materials/specimens. It took the first year working there to read my way through the entire library of fish books, and then I moved on to live plants, and from there to saltwater. Seminars, formal schooling, etc. were all mandatory for this job. My bosses were all well educated (formally), all of them having degrees in things like aquatic biology, ecology, botany, etc.
Where is this pet store? I may have to move :-).
