Well, I'd be happy to DM you some information about work in Alaska. There is plenty of opportunity for him if he wants a seasonal job. I'm just saying that fishing, for a newcomer, isn't going to pay well and could be dangerous and there are better things out there for him.

I don't, but I think that Rance might...or I know someone mentioned that here recently but I can't recall who. But on the state of Alaska employment link I sent you, check out the jobs in the North Slope Borough. I noticed there were a few posted the other day.

COULD be dangerous? The one and only time I refused to let my son go on a particular boat [he was 15] it was because HE would have been the only deckhand with experience! Took him quite awhile to get over being mad at me, he really wanted to go to the Bering. I told him any skipper stupid enough to take a green crew with one experienced hand was too stupid to survive. I think the only reason he did get over it was because some of the other fishermen told him the same thing.
