Are there any jobs in Alaska where you dont have to have much contact with people? Serious answers please.? -

A forest ranger, or an environmental job far away from civilization for example?My qualifications: Bachelors in Biological Science, Masters in Economics, 2 years government PR work experience

Most Parks offices are in cities, even if the park itself is fairly remote, and park rangers deal with people a lot. If you think that you have what it takes to live somewhere remote with no contact with others and total reliance on yourself, then you may want to look into independent biological research, trapping, being the caretaker of a fishing lodge during the off-season, or doing seasonal work for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game. To qualify for these options, you will have to know basic medical skills (CPR, first aid, and more); how to use and repair chain saws, outboard motors, generators, snowmobiles, etc.; how to avoid and deal with bears; rifle safety; and other practical skills.If it isn t wilderness that you seek, but solitude, you could get a job working nights running the operations board at a radio station, watching the controls at the power or sewer plant, cleaning buildings, etc. Or get a computer-oriented job where you sit by yourself and solve problems or program. Or become and artist or writer and hire someone to market your work.I hope that you will retain contact with SOME people. I have a feeling that there are people who would like to know you, or who would miss you if you moved out of their lives. They may not have made it apparent to you, but you have a role in others lives, even people that you barely know.Everyone needs a friend and an advocate and that person could be you.

Yes there are lots, but many are seasons. Field work, remote camps, parks, winter caretaker, and research stations; to name a few. But the competition for jobs gets tougher all the time as the economy continues to struggle. SO I would not think it would be a good idea to move here on just the hopes that you can get one.This is a really good place to start looking. I have seen many sight that claim to be able to get you work in Alaska, but they really seem like money making scams. (for instance work on the oil fields in the north slope is all hired through the Native Corporations, Unions, and multinational drilling corps, paying a web site is really not likely to help you get a job there)Where as this state run site is legit, and has government, fisheries and oil related jobs listed, as well as tons of others.http://www.jobs.state.ak.us/And you might also browse through some of the local papers help wanted ads online? as some jobs never make it into the state system,http://www.onlinenewspapers.com/usstate/��GOod Luck

If you can get on with the Parks service you could get assigned to the more remote corners of the state. Just be sure you are prepared for it, my suggestion is you take a vacation to some remote location to make sure you can handle being alone for long periods of time.

PLEASE help me!!! Help!? -

I really have been thinking lately. I graduated from high school last year and have been at community college taking basic classes while I live at home. I really just want to move to Hawaii though. I fell in love with Hawaii after I visited many times (the last visit was a month ago). I want to just pack up and move there. No college, just work in a tourist area in shops or something for awhile and just take a break. Adventure. Only thing is I am afraid I will get island fever and want to leave after the novelty of it goes away. If you can help, please let me know what I should do?

This is my standard answer that I give. There are good things about living in Hawaii and there are some not so good thing about living in in Hawaii.The weather great it does not get bellow 60 degrees. Hawaii is expensive. Ninety percent of everything is shipped in this is the main reason it cost more. Gas prices are in the high three dollar range. Visiting Hawaii is different then living here when you visit you don t pay rent or utilities. Right now our unemployment rate is quite high because tourism is down. If you want to work in tourism it good to know another language. With out an college education you will need to work more than one minimum wage job to survive.Hawaii is just as safe as anywhere else maybe safer. We have everything the mainland has except for a few restaurants and stores. The water that surrounds us does not make much of a difference.No Daylight Savings Time we never move out clock forward or back.We have an excellent bus system on Oahu. If you are willing to take the time then it will cut down on gas costs. You can have car but you might want to take the bus most of the time and use a car only when really needed.Hawaii is one of most culturally diverse place in America. We have several cultures here. Hawaiians being the most obvious. We also have a diverse Asian population; Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, Thai, Vietnamese (sp?). All these culture differ. And it is best if you learn the differences.If you love food Hawaii is one of the best places to be. Due to our many cultures we have many different kinds of food. Try them all.Since we have many different cultures in Hawaii there are many set of rules all of them slightly different. Make an effort to learn. When you make an effort to learn the the differences then you will be accepted.There is racism in Hawaii, racism is everywhere. Some of the racism is aimed at Whites. Racism at White is not all that common so you will get Whites saying that all Locals and or Hawaiian are racist. That is not true. The Locals and Hawaiians who are racist toward Whites tend to be racist against other cultures. Racism is not right. But it does exist.Not everybody who lives in Hawaii is Hawaiian. To be Hawaiian to must have Hawaiian blood. Or be of Hawaiian ancestry. If you are like me and have lived in Hawaii all their life but have no Hawaiian blood you are considered a Local.We also have a dialect of Pidgin Creole English. Or it is called Pidgin for short. This language was created during the plantation days. We had workers from all over Asia and the Pacific they all spoke different languages and the needed a way to communicate. So a new language grew and was created.There a some who hear Pidgin an the equate it with lack of intelligence. Do not do this!Then there is what can be called Rock Fever some people tend to feel trapped because they can t drive anywhere else but Hawaii. There is no way you can drive into another state.If you need to fly home to the Mainland then 1) take more time because you have to fly over an ocean first. 2) Will cost more because you have to fly

Go where the wind takes you it s never too late to go back and get an education if you happen to change your mind.

i lived on a island all my life in bahrain its the most crowded place ever but urll get use to it...

always fallough your heart

Ultimately life is about experiences and Hawaii would be a great experience for you but first you must get your feet on the ground. Visiting here and living here are two VERY different things. With only a high school education behind you and not much job experience at the professional level, survival here will be tough on you. This is one of the most expensive states to live in and like many other states it is in economic trouble. On top of that tourism is down. You will get homesick sooner or later and the problem with Hawaii is that there is no quick road trip home. If you do not have a financial cushion buying that plane ticket home will be a problem.Take a good hard look at your current financial situation. If you don t have a few grand saved up, then start saving, the more you plan for this move the better off you will be. If you try to just wing it, things will not go so well.
