There's a LOT of ass in Alaska, unfortunately it's all on one woman. I had the same thought. Even "Goodtime Charlies" ain't a good time... Keep it up, maybe you can convince a few more lesser 48ers to stay south. Just trying to keep some folks from becoming sourdoughs.... sour on Alaska not enough dough to leave.

My dream is to hunt moose in AK. Has been for a long long time. That dream keeps me alive. Gives me a "Brass ring" of sorts. If I lived there,what would I dream about then? Living in Pennsylvania? God I hope not. I would split the difference and retire to Montana though.

Nothing as drastic as dreaming of living in PA. It's usually more mundane like spending somewhere between a couple weeks and a couple months in a place like this in the dead of winter.

Except for the cost, I am hearing mostly lies. If you are good at something and reliable you can more than make ends meet here. Good auto/boat mechanics can just about write their own tickets. Medical professionals seem to often be in demand. Construction can kill two birds with one stone since it pays and you would have the skills to build your own remote dream home. http://dnr.alaska.gov/mlw/landsale/

You are obviously not listening... so how about a couple charts? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Alaska_Crude_Oil_Production.PNG http://mjperry.blogspot.com/2011/12/north-dakota-sets-more-oil-production.htmlWell, I can't seem to get either of them to C&P... Take a look at the two charts and decide which is the better place to look for work as an untrained hand...

yep Alaska ain't closed but the odds of any swingin dick gettin a job on the slope are pretty slim unless you have an in with someone or a skill set that is in high demand.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

The Mayans had it right. If you�re going to predict the future, it�s best to aim far beyond your life expectancy, lest you wind up red-faced in a bunker overstocked with Spam and ammo.

The pfd check is a piss poor reason to move to Alaska. Do I complain when it shows up? No, but the extra grand is not the reason I stay in Alaska.
Deal with it.

Electronics, any kind. That is repair, maintenance, design, build, and update. RF to audio.

I don't think a 1000 bucks would last all year. It might take a little more considering I love to fish and hunt. Always have been captivated by the big Dall Sheep horns.

House in SE. 400k.(not a [bleep]) Good SE do it all boat 100k. Rent in SE 1k plus a month. Working to pay for all this cuts into the hunting and fishing a bit. Remember 90% of the good hunting is not a jump in your pickup and go type of deal here. In all reality if your real reason to be here is to hunt and fish you will be ahead of the game money wise to come up and go with a guide periodically. Our income here would put us in the upper middle class down south , here we are lower middle class in all reality. 3 types of Alaskan households 1 wealthy. 2 broke . 3 broke and in massive amounts of debt trying to take advantage of what Alaska has to offer.
