what are some jobs that relate to aquariums, i could get into a college on scholarship but i am considering being an electrican also. are there any good jobs that combine general engineering and aquacultural engineering, wether it be growing macroalgae or raising fish?
Look into Aquaculture and Fisheries.
Practically every state has at least one state or federal hatchery raising whatever, trout, salmon, bass, endangered fishes. These jobs pay enough to function in society IME. Sometimes you can volunteer or do a summer job at these places for experience. Many of these facilities have maintenance positions which focus electrical/mechanical trades.
Then there is the private sector raising whatever, food fish, shellfish, algae, ornamentals.
A Bachelor of Science is probably needed to get your foot in the door post graduation.
My boss went to Purdue University and he really liked it. He's worked in Alaska, Indiana and currently Vermont all hatchery positions.
For me I did the same, worked several hatchery positions, sure I don't make over $80,000 at a bottom position, but my quality of live is pretty nice where I live.
