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.

What do I do for my 4th wedding anniversary? I live in Cleveland,TN. Money is a little low.? -

Just fix a nice romantic dinner at home. Get a baby sitter to take the kids out if you have any.
