PrimoPromo Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) I'm in school right now at Western Michigan studying voice. Hoping someday to be a big rich and famous opera singer.....we'll see what happens. I basically live on loans for rent and food, but for the tank I run my own recording business. I specialize in classical music. It does pretty well, enough for me to get my fix of frags and whatnot. www.myspace.com/rjprecording If interested help me buy more frags!

Polly Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Not sure where you're located, but I know a couple of people that make really good money in pizza delivery. I'm in Florida, so it might do better than other areas because of the tourism. Polly Quote Link to comment

Bonsai Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 i was wonder what do my fellow nano-reef due to make the cash to pay for there reef aquarium addiction. I'm the equivalent of a Creative Director for a major Web Hosting and Data Center company. With a wife and two kids, and a fairly young family (my wife and I are in our 20's), there isn't always a lot of money for Reefing ... but I tend to find it here and there Jason Quote Link to comment

thecowkid Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 (edited) Well as alot of you guys already know I own Aquatic Acrylic Works. The name is self explaniatory. I also own Picketts Lawn Service & Landscaping. As crazy as it sounds I am looking to open up a new company. I am very interested in starting a company that leases complete marine and fresh water aquarium setups to residential and commercial clients. The contract will only require the customers to fill out a sheet explaining what type of fish, coral, plants that they want. Then sign on the line and write the check. The rest will be up to me. I guess one can say that I love working for myself. I have a BA degree from Purdue in Organizational Leadership and Supervision. I guess if the right opportunity presented itself I would consider selling out and going that route. Never know. Edited March 30, 2008 by thecowkid Quote Link to comment

I work for the largest financial institution in the world (can't name them) and they're downsizing like crazy. I will keep this in mind... Polly Quote Link to comment
