[Eye of Unk]

I pray for the day I can afford to leave Alaska and live in a warmer climate during the winter, summers ares short, sweet, cool and totally awesome. Jobs are balls to the wall right now, I work 10 or more hours a day 6 days a week.

But it gets to be a drag when it gets really cold. And when I get laid off from november to april or even may.

A lot of jobs are seasonal, a lot of workers are seasonally from out of state, its the way it is here. The smart and successful ones have homes elsewhere like Hawaii or Arizona, I have plans on working in Australia myself.

Not a lot of people work year round, sure they do like at the stores, Walmart, Home Depot but those jobs are not the seasonal dangerous, skilled or high rewarding ones.

My brother was up there on a couple years back, said everyone he met lived somewhere else. Oh, and I looked it up Alaska ranks 5th down from the top in welfare per-capita. My brother was stationed up there years ago in the air force, sixties, was very disappointed in the place.
