"Before you come
to Alaska: You should have a round trip ticket and cash or credit card resources ($2,000 for temporary and $3,000
for permanent work) to live on while looking for work. Many who arrived short of cash encountered serious hardship and shattered
dreams. Public assistance programs cannot be counted on by persons relocating to Alaska without adequate funds. Homesteading
is not available now." Finding Work in Alaska
"Many stories have been told about people who, with no
trouble whatsoever, landed a job as a crew member in Alaska's fishing industry on a highliner fishing boat and made tons
of money. There are published materials for sale which boast of lucrative jobs in canneries and on fishing boats. The reality
is, that for every success, there are many failures. A prospective crew member's chance for a profitable season will be
enhanced by careful assessment of job openings and close attention to details regarding any job offer" Alaska Fishing Jobs
