Hi everybody, Im a recent graduate from Univ of New Hampshire with a BA in Zoology. My question is, WHAT DO I DO NOW?

What jobs are people here doing that relates to their love of fish!?!

Thanks for the help.

Try WetWebMedia.com

I think they have a section on business, careers or something like that. Go volunteer at a regional aquarium - that's a great way to get your feet wet. Pardon the pun.

Really tough to make a lot of money dealing with fish, unless you develop a gigantic business. Paid positions at the Neew England Aquarium are really difficult to land. You can volunteer there, but you won't get paid. That is a way to get your foot in the door, though.
Be prepared to take a job in another industry to pay the bills, or be prepared to move.
Good luck.

Your welcome.


I don't work in the fish industry, I was just trying to cheer you up...

working in an lfs, or doing tank servicing are generally the options available in the 'retail' sector

lfs jobs do not pay well, but it can be fun, and employee discounts (offered by most stores after a time frame) can help with hobby costs

If I were you, I'd do some at-home research that might use both your skill in medical research and your love for coral. For example, there is still a LOT that remains unknown about coral immunity.
