How to make a living in SE Alaska??? - 05/07/10
A little background:
I grew up on POW with divorced parrents. Dad living in Washington, Mom on POW. I did the usual back and forth visiting my dad for the summers and a few school years during high school. After school it was off to the Marines, after 4 years of that Tech jobs drew me back to Washington.
I take my family up to POW for a week or so in august every other year. Each time I go it just makes me want to move back more and more. Funny how that works, cause when I was a kid I took it all for granted and wanted nothing more than to escape. Now all I want is to go back.
My wife loves it up there and tells me to get a job and we'll go. She's bean saying that for a few years now.
"So whats holding you back?" you ask.
We'll I guess I'm smart enough to know how good I have it down here. I've got a tech job making good money. I have a retirement account with money in it. I've got a decent little house on 2 acres with a barn and shop. I can afford to go to Alaska every other year. I can afford lots of unneccessary hunting and fishing toys, ect........
But I'd give it all up in a minute if I could find a decent paying gig up there. But whats a guy with electronics and robotics skills to do in SE Alaska?
