Has anyone heard about the jobs in alaska? Its all mostly fishing related, but I like that part anyway. Anyways, they pay really good around 10-20K a month for a fish catching related job minus room and board. I was thinking that I might go there to work and pay off my school debt by working for a year. Then when I come back I can still have around 40K to spend on school and my car. its a 50-50 chance I might actually go there and work.
Yah I know its non-stop working 24/7, but chicken farming at where I am is the same and we hardly make any money. Only around 9K a month-expenses. any comments? |

i was watching this one documentary that listed the "ten most dangerous jobs" in the world.
Alaskan King Crab fishing was the #1 most dangerous job. yes, even more dangerous than a reporter getting shot at in the middle of a gun fight in war! anyways, you guys should've seen it! the waves were incredibly rough, the chopper filming the scene had so much trouble keeping the camera steady, and the fishermen guys were sliding all over the place hitting the walls and getting hit by ice cold waves! anyway, as harsh as it sounds, in the end they say that each fisherman earns anywhere between $300,000 to $1,000,000 dollars during high season! -------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
