What funds your orchid needs?

[MuscleGirl'sHobby]

Maybe it's been done already, but I looked around and didn't find anything... and I don't recall seeing a thread like this. But I thought it would be fun just to see what everyone does.

So, what puts the orchids in your greenhouse/big tank/vivarium/windowsill etc? Or less importantly: The bacon on your table.

I shall get us started. I am actually a full time student. I'm returning to school after having been in the Army for 5 years, worked as a correctional officer for the federal bureau of prisons, and a year as a lead supervisor/project manager for fundraising company for non-profits. I am a disabled veteran (scar tissue buildup in my hip, two knee injuries, and issues with my feet), and am going to school through the VA's vocational rehabilitation program. My major is civil engineering as of right now. But, several other areas are sparking my interest big time. I've looked in to geology, geotechnical engineering, and environmental engineering.

Alright, who's next?
