[Paul McCleary]

I've been a part-time zoological educator running Animals for Education for about 13 years and - God willing - will continue to do so. I was a welder/fitter in the automotive industry for about 15 years but have switched full-time vocations because of incessant layoffs and strikes. Since May, I've been an environmental biologist with EARTHQUEST (Canada) for the Environment. Fortunately - since my contract with EARTHQUEST is finite - I've been accepted for training and local placement as a provincial Correctional Officer and should assume this position by mid-February...
