Happy Friday, everyone!
As the title suggests, I'm looking for information on any job opportunities realting to fish and aquariums in the DMV. My background is in database management and data science, but I quit my job back in October because I wasn't happy there and wanted to explore alternative career paths or job types.
That said, if you know of any jobs opportunities in the area relating to any and all things fish and aquariums or better yet, anything that ncorporates data and research into fish and their husbandry - please let me know. I appreciate any and all suggestions!
I wasn't sure which was the best forum category to post this in, so please let me know if ou think I should've posted elsewhere.

P.P.S Also open to part-time opportunities
Most fish stores are always hiring around here. Pay usually isnt good though. Maintenance employees usually are paid better than retail staff but still not great. Getting to work at the Smithsonian is usually volunteer work for ages before an actual position. Working in animal care can also be frustrating, emotions can get high, disagreements aplenty. I've been much happier switching to studying aquatic science instead.
You should contact Chris Team at Capital Exotics in DC or Dave at NOVA Tropicals in Dale City...
My last time at Capital Exotic I'm pretty sure I heard them saying they wanted some more employees to have more coverage.
