[aklug] Re: What are job opportunities like in Alaska?

Honestly... Job prospects are pretty slim, but if you're lucky you might
find something.
Things to keep in mind:
1. Have a contract in hand before coming here.
2. Look for relocation being paid for. I know it's hard, but you're
looking at
    a min of $7k to move your family up here. Also if they terminate you
in your
    probation period. You have ground to have them move you back there.
3. Have a possible 2nd job lined up for if the 1st one falls through...
or cost
    of living shock.
