Juneau Alaska, what a beautiful place! We're glad to call this our new home.
My wife and I were born and raised in New York State. We met, married and raised 3 beautiful children until they left home. After another 3 years or so, we left home ourselves, for the state of Alaska
The main reason we made the move was we found better job opportunities. Unemployment was new to me. I found myself between jobs and realized that I wasn't able to snap up a job like I used to be able to some years back. Alaska is behind the times in a good way. There are still jobs in my line of work in AK that was not available in NY state. Granted, from a nation wide point of view, Alaska does not have the lowest unemployment, but my wife and I still see more opportunity and a better possibility to earn a living in Alaska.
What are the most prevalent occupations in Juneau Alaska? Fishing, mining and government jobs are the most common. A general stereotype of the thirty five thousand people that liver here is that they are generally pretty well taken care of. There are plenty of nice cars, homes and spendable cash. To be fair, the population does seem to work hard to earn a living. Also, as in any city or state, the medicaid crowd is here. The large majority though seems to be doing well.
I have had an urge and a desire for years to find a viable internet business that would allow me more flexibility in the way that we lived. It just so happened that after our move to the capital city, that I found one. Those that have that same desire may follow me to my website from the link below and I will share what I am doing. Work here in Juneau has been good and I am beginning to see this business not just as an add on, but as something that will completely eclipse what we are currently doing. I have visions of laying claim on a piece of property and or buying a boat but even more importantly to take care of our grown children and our parents, should the need arise.
Property in Juneau is very expensive because there is not much available. Picture a 50 mile or so strip of land or shelf of land that is livable. Behind this near sea level shelf of land and to the east is the Canadian land mass. You see, just east of this narrow strip of land, the mountains rise almost straight up and vary in height from 1800 to 4000 feet above sea level. Lack of available property is also why rent is precipitously high at around 1200 to 1500 dollars monthly for a small apartment.
So why would I think to purchase a boat with our new revenue stream? The lack of property makes it much more conducive for many Juneau people to enjoy the liveaboard life on their boat at the dock. Many have done so all their lives. In the capital city it is a very ordinary protocol. Interesting, Isn't it?
