] Interesting break down of events. LOL, I see what you're saying though.
No, there wasn't much biology pertaining to my degree, I went down the Criminal Justice path for obvious reasons based on my prior career. However, I regret that I didn't choose more wisely than I did. I would love to be one of those "under paid" marine biologist. I made the mistake of not chasing my dreams to the point of exicuting them when I had the chance. I'm trying to make that up with my sons. But, i'm still young enough to make that dream come true with the right set of circumstances.
I actually have a diverse level of knowledge on marine life as well. I'm a wierdo that instead of reading novels, I've got a library of non-fiction books on different species of fish, marine mammals and reptiles. I also dig asian philosophy. I've got books on Buddha and my favorite book by Lao Tzu called "Tao Te Ching." I have books on everything from the fish on the ocean floor that create thier own convalesant light to books on Palegic species. I make it a habbit to take that interest I have in marine life to the next level when I target species of fish. The more I know about that species, the better I can find them and catch them.
I would definately work for less money in order to do a job that I loved. I'd say the key to happiness isn't based on a paycheck. Sure, it would seem rediculous to take a 250 thousand dollar education only work a job to make peanuts. But, if that job was your dream, Would it not be worth it?
Take football players for instance. Take the millions of dollars out of the game and make it a 30K a year job. Do you think people would still want to play football? Sure they would, it would just be more people that play for the love of the game, and not so much for the money. There are things that are stronger than any amount of money or logic, it's called passion. I share that passion for our oceans and all that live beneath. [cool]
