any marine biologists out there?

[Cap'n]

I had planned on becoming a Marine Biologist and spent 4 years in university working (drinking) towards my BSc. Didn't happen though.

However, my youngest sister, who also wanted to become a Marine Biologist finished her schooling a year early, on the Dean's List each term, graduated top of her class, Honours with Distinction. Love that sibling rivalry!

Jennifer had the opportunity to continue her studies in Cape Cod but chose to stay at home. She promptly got a job at The Nova Scotia Agricultural College where she has spent the last several years studying the breeding habits of saltwater mussels and teaching classes & labs. My goal was to live on a glass bottomed boat studying the fish of the Great Barrier Reef, but to each their own.

point 1) Jennifer had the grades, work ethic and personality to get a job pretty much anywhere she wanted
point 2) She studied and lived in an area of increasing marine research (Canada's East coast)
point 3) I now have a glass-bottomed reef in my living room
