Thats really cool. I meet all the qualifications but whats the pay?

 

[Reefer_Addickt]

No clue, most likely not that great. We don't seem to pay scientists what they deserve.

Sounds like a sweet gig. I'm sure many days will fly by. Beats sitting at a desk all day.

As my wife always says (she's in Human Resources) "make them fall in love with you" then talk about salary. Worst case scenario is that you got practice interviewing.

I'm pretty sure there's not going to be much negotiation for the salary, it's not a high paying job. However, if you truly have the passion for the job and don't necessarily need to make end's meet then it will be an extremely rewarding job. The aquarium staff there are full of fun and extremely knowledgeable. In terms of interviewing, I think this is one of the few jobs where being amicable and presentable is important, but not as important as the type of technical expertise and experience you bring to the table (that's not necessarily from your own hobby). Hope that helps.
