So I received an email with a non-compete agreement from an aquaculture company that has basically offered me a job without formally doing so.
The first section of the agreement gets right down to saying that I can't participate in any way (other than investing as a non-controlling shareholder) with another aquaculture related business for 2 years....anywhere in the world (though I'm not sure how that's enforcable if I chose to go work in say Timbuktu).
I don't know if this sounds standard to anyone else, but I kinda feel that since employment opportunities with anything related to aquatic biology (I'd like to be an aquarium manager/curator at some point...but aquaculture is good experience with aquatic/marine animal care) are so tight, that this something of a deal breaker for me.
...just wish I had other job offerings at the moment. ...Back to doing more internships I guess.
