Alaska fishing is near CRISIS. I sell parts for the generators used out of Kodiak, Dutch Harbor and others and get to talk to them quite a bit.

What about working the summer in Alaska building roads? There are alot of people that live in trailers and get the nice paychecks for 5-6 months a year.
How about a slope job? Work in Deadhorse 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off.
There are several companies that have contracts in the bush for everything from food service to radar tech to heavy equipment operator.
There are alot of remote lodges, remote village projects etc that pay very well and are only open a few months a year.
Mate on a halibut charter out of Homer, Anchor Point, or Seward can pay well. You gotta be in shape to fish.
PM me if you have any other questions.
