  • New guy

    Hey guys,

    I am new here. Raul refered me to the site(im the guy that bought some of your krib and kenyi fry). Looks like a great site.

    Little about myself. I am 22 and recently graduated from UT Austin(HOOK em HORNS). Still dont have a job(anyone looking for a biomedical engineer ). Ive got into fish about a year ago and never looked back.

    I live in Pasadena for time beign but would love to go back to austin if i can land a job there.

    Right now i have
    29g with a convict, firemouth and some congo tertas. Started with convicts but kept only a male becuase i got tired of figuring out what to do with all the fry.
    10g community tank- female bettas and few neon tetas and few mollies.
    10g growout tank with the baby kenyi and krib fry.

    Soon as i get a job(and a paycheck) i will probably be getting a 55 gallon and maybe a 40 breeder . Plan on moving the fry out into those tanks once they get bigger as well as moving my convict and firemouth into a larger tank.

    Well thats a start on me.... Feel free to to ask any questions. I will probably be askign lots of questiosn since i am relativly new to fish

    p.s. If you have any yard work ill be more than happy to do it for either cash or aquariums

    Well if you hang out with the likes of Raul......I don't know how many people on here will talk to you anymore....LOL!!!!  Just kidding!!!!  Welcome to the Box.  

    My little sister is at UT right now, that's pretty cool.  So I am assuming there are a lot of Biomedical Engineers out there for you not to have had a job waiting when you got out.  Good luck on the hunt.

       Welcome to HFB!
      Good luck with the job hunt.  :)

      Oh, and 40 breeders are I think my favorite tank so far, great dimensions.

        well not so much that there are many Biomed Eng. just that its a relativly new undergrad major(i was in the 2nd graduating class at UT).The problem is industry really doesnt know who we are since we are so new. Getting an interview can be tough.

        Whats your sister majoring in?

        Yea and 40 breeders look great. Makes it look larger then what it reallysis due to the dimensions.

          She is in the Business school so it fluctuates between finance and marketing depending on the day of the week....LOL.

          So what does your field of study lean more towards if you don't mind me asking??

            Re: New guy

            The major itself is very broad. Consists of a lot of chem, bio, physiology, along with fundementals of engineering. Really think the major is too broad and would be better if they focused more on somethign like mechnical or electrical.

            I guess my dream job would be working to develope drug deliver systems. Would like to work with nanostructures or particles as well. But  i am pretty open to the industry and wouldnt mind staring in a lab somewhere to get some experince.

                      'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
                      He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

                              Schlumberger at what location ?  I used to work for Schlumberger until I was sold off to another company.. I still support SLB on a daily bases (I work for Atos Origin who handles all their helpdesk and many other pieces of their IT business)

                              I take it you are an engineer of some sort :)
