I've known what God put me here for since i was 5, and my major was archeology with a minor in paleoclimatology. Fascinating stuff. I've been submitting my resume for 3 years to finally get hired by someone, and did back in October. Over the years, I started a company building high end custom homes (750k+), and a corporation that manufacturers a patented, 100% guaranteed, ant-proof pet bowl. Figured out how to outsmart fire ants with no water or chemicals. I've got about 380 retailers. Ted Nugent owns 2. George Forman came into my store in Katy, TX and was talked into buying one, he then came back a few days later with all his boys named George ranting and raving about how he had sunk one directly into a fire ant mound and nothing got into the food. Bought every one in the store. I started that company in an effort to pay my bills while I get my Masters, but, alas, it hasn't been quite the million-dollar product it should be. Cost me everything over the years. I can't even watch 'American Inventor', it's makes me very upset seeing other's great ideas smacked down by corporate moguls. If I had another 50k again, lol, I would join the North American Pet Product Manufacturor's Association and start hitting trade shows. You could have the cure for ALL diseases, but if you can't buy the buyers for these big chains, they'll never let you in. For instance - 10k a day for someone that's certified to hand out your business cards at their show. 30k to eat breakfast the day before the show with the buyers. 8k a hole to play golf with the buyers the week before the show... See why we're stuck buying crap at Walmart from China yet? Cost too damn much to get in the door, unless you're already there. I'm just a little guy with the best product of this sort in the world. Frustrating. I know they have fire ants in PR, so I do plan on trying to hunt down a feed store or a pet store while I'm there to see if they are interested in purchasing any from me.
(FYI - We need to go into an ice age, because IF WE DON'T, AND THE EARTH'S TEMP. KEEPS GOING UP, the western antactic ice shelf and Greenland will melt. No big deal, right? The ocean will go up @46 ft. If both the poles melt, scientists believe the ocean will go up about 360 ft. Many scientists have done research that points to the possibility that this may happen in the next 20-100 yrs. Just thought I'd give y'all an even better reason to visit the Caribean before it's gone.)
It's been a long, strange road....
