I put the two little red tinfoils and the little lemon fin in last night 
I knew I couldn't wait.

had an issue with a pump station that required 24/7 manned operations. its okay, its all time and a half and double time! How do you think I pay for all this fish stuff?
no, I am wastewater treatment plant operator, but we look after several wastewater pump stations that pump wastewater to the treatment plant.
but I have worked at a large fish store for many years when I was in university and college.

yes. it is very interesting, secure/recession proof (its never going away as long as there are humans around) and it pays well. I really can't complain.
the treatment process is in essence very similar to what we do in our fish tanks.
you filter the water to get it clear after settling
you expose it to nitrifying bacteria to break down ammonia
the only real difference is that in wastewater treatment, we disinfect (with UV light or chlorine - which we don't use anymore)
because wastewater contains pathogens, we disinfect to protect public health and the environment as we discharge to a stream that is full of fish etc.
