I have an almost encyclopedic knowledge of fish from the atlantic basin, specifically in and around the south east US and Carribean.

It freaks people out sometimes when I just start reciting fish facts whenever the rare occasion this comes up.

It's from me living partially on a boat as a child and tearing through books about fish while dreaming of being a marine biologist until the cold hard reality of for-profit education hit me in my early adulthood.

What are your weird topics and skills?

    I have been manual laborer for a long time before I went back to school. So the workload I'm used to but it's always been my dream to work outdoors. I just didn't have the programming stuff yet they wanted because I hadn't finished the courses involved. But hey maybe a graduate degree who knows.

      It very rewarding to study. I want to go back for my PhD one day and I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it. In case I do, I have a climatology degree to fall back on which I also recommend looking into! Good luck!
