Working in alaska, might go there to work and pay off debt Options

[soulshadow]

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?

Yahoo! thats a lot of money. Acutally our farm earns 9K a month, but minus the expenses we get like 3-4K a month. The thing is, that it depends on where your working in alaska. Some jobs offer pay depending on what you catch and some jobs offer pay like a working hour pay. Then you still have living expenses. What I was thinking was something like living on a cruise boat that harvested fish and also processed it. Its more of a live on a boat, eat on a boat, poop on a boat, process fish on a boat and everything on a boat. The only thing that sucks is that you have to sign contracts with companies, the weather and working 24/7. But if it pays off at the end. Than im up for it even if I have to scarifice my life.
