Kind've bummed. (O.T.)

on a lighter note, you could have a career on professional wrestling you already have a stage name "Gatorminator"

I already DID have a career in pro wrestling.  I was a manager, Handsome Johnny Angel, here in the Florida independent shows.  LOL

Perhaps use your talents, and knowledge of gators, in an business that specializes in Gator/croc relocation. 
The only serious change is there may be more technology used in that job.

It's what the late Steve Erwin did before he became a celebrity

+1, have seen your picture, you definitely have the looks (meant that in the manly manest way possible). You could be the next non Caucasian wild life celebrity.

Hmm.... let's see.  Of note, I have been a wedding singer, Opera singer (I studied it and performed it in college), martial arts instructor, worked in a funeral home picking up, dropping off, embalming, and preparing bodies (got some crazy stories from THAT job), and was a costume character for children's birthday parties.

You know how to embalm, I heard that embalmers are very in demand in the States. Man with your various expertise and most of them are unusual I think you have no problem finding something.

Really sorry to here your bad news  With all your knowledge with Gators and reptiles do you think you can find work in a similar enviroment ? or do you fancy a change ?

I don't mean to sound like a smart ass.  BUT!!!  What haven't you done?  Perhaps look in that direction!  Do something that you have no experience in.  It's at nleast new, challenging, and rewarding in ways money can never fulfill

I've been laid off a couple times,and no matter what the circumstances,it still stings...no, it SUCKS. Be a teacher,you've got more real world experience in zoology and biology than some Ph.Ds,and when you're students find out you've been a gator wrestler,I'm sure discipline problems will trail off to zero.

Well, I've helped embalm in the past.  However, in order to do it yourself, you have to be certified.  You have to go to mortuary school and all that.  Plus, it's like being a doctor.  You are always on call, and I couldn't deal with that, you know?  However, it is a good career.  No batter how things get, there will always be business.

I'm kind've on the fence on this.  I mean, my body is screaming for me to stop, since it is a very physical line of work, and I've been doing it for so long that a change might be in order.  However, it is knowledge and a set of skills that not everyone has, so it would be a shame to let it go to waste.  I'm still debating this topic.

I've thought about this.  Like I said in the previous post, I am not sure what to do right now.  I mean, yes, I can stay with what I know, but it certainly IS rewarding to go into something as a complete novice and learn it all over again.

I actually am looking into teaching.  With the teachers shortage here in Florida, it is a possibility, and like you said, what I lack in titles and initials after my name, I make up for in real life knowledge and experience.  I am definitely looking into this.

You'll never get rich being a teacher, but the rewards more than make up for it


(I mean the good benefits and the summers off of course!)

And on a bad day, dealing with a classroom full of students can seem awfully like wrestling gators.

Tell me about it, Chako.  I have worked with kids before, and they can ABSOLUTELY be terrifying!!

But marginally less likely to rip you arm off.

I sometimes feel more like a Chimp wrangler than a teacher

I thought those professions were one in the same?  They certainly were when I was in school!

It would be Cool to be the Cool teacher 

[Chako]

The only problem with cool teachers...their classroom management mostly sucks, meaning they have the roughest go of any teacher on a daily basis. Kids love to do what they want. Most times, it isn't what the teacher wants lol. Overall cool teachers are enablers. There are the odd exception.
