Who wants an Alaska adventure?

Who wants a job in Alaska? I am looking for:
Assistant principal
High School English teacher
Carpentry/ woods teacher
Aviation teacher
The first two need to have the appropriate certifications in Alaska or some other state and be eligible for AK certification.
The carpentry teacher needs to have recognized industry expertise in the field or an industrial arts/cte teaching certification.
The aviation teacher needs to be a CFI or willing to become a CFI before August.

Who wants a job that works from August 15 through May 15th with the summers off? We are also in the middle of the best moose hunting area in the world.

 

Fuck!
I got married.

Otherwise I could have filled at least two of these positions.

 

You know you could bring a spouse. We have some other jobs in the community, too.

 

I don't fit any of those categories. Am I still in the running?

 

Oh man that sounds like a great opportunity.

 

Better review the Teacher Pay thread in The Dungeon.

 

Do Alaskians still get some kind of check from the state government just for living in Alaskia? How much? Terms? Conditions? Answers to the question I didn't know to ask?

 

Add "becoming a furnace repairman" course to the curriculum and I'm down.

Oh, and I'll have to ask you to dump the certifications and shit too.

 

Yep we still get the permanent fund dividend. It was $1100 last year, but that was after the state kept half to try and balance their budget. It was supposed to be $2200.
You get it after having been a full time resident for 1 year.

 

Sure, which of the jobs do you want?

 

Something that doesn't require a certification, or dealing with kids.

 

Where in AK?

 

It’s not the kids that are so bad, it’s parents and the administration. Though, maybe my experience teaching college kids was a bit different.

 

Will I be overpaid, get great benefits and only have to work 9 months a year???

 

I'm a CFI and would LOVE to live in Alaska. Getting the rest of the family to come with me and live on a CFI salary... that's my problem.

You're also way out there, right? If you were in Homer my wife would probably start packing in the morning.

 

Cabinet maker.... Not carpentry.... Dammed...

 

I think you would be fine.

 

Ken,

You need a Spanish teacher too?

 

See'
