r2roswell - A New Job!!!

Today during my lunch hour at NTAC, I took the liberty of applying for a second job.  I enjoy my job at NTAC and the money is good but with a family of four pets and Kai unemployed, I thought it would be best if I find a second job.  Kai has been looking around but at the same time he is looking for something that pays above minimum wage.  Although he is considering looking into going to college so we'll see how those plans go.

As for the new job, I applied for a Captain's position at one of the most well known Boating Tours.  (the location must remain classified).  I got a call back around 6 this evenining and they said they were more than happy to accept me.  I went there a short while later to meet with the members and they did the short interview and all of that other good stuff.  For now it will be a weekend job which is good enough for me since I get paid more than the minimum wage for just two days in a seven day period.

There is one minor thing though.  They like their workers to have some kind of biology background and since my background only ranges from a special high school that focuses in the human medical school, I will be required to go to one of the local schools they have here and major in biology.  They said that with my intellegent capabilities I should be able to learn everything within a year or two instead of the recommended four years.  I will still get to be a Captain but I have to go to school as well.  Those details have all been worked out.  The plus side, is that the company is willing to pay for my schooling so it saves me quite a lot.

I am really happy about this job.  It's something I've been wanting to do since I was five years old when I first saw those "Free Willy" movies.  I knew that all I ever wanted to do was take a boat out some where in the oceans and watch orca whales, learn about them and study about them and even teach others about them.  I'm happy my childhood dreams are getting the chance to come true.
