that's my life year round. 3 weeks on 3 weeks off. but on the other source of alaskan income...

that sounds so fun.

One of my good buddies does something along those lines. Month on month off type of thing. You gotta be really comfortable on boats though. Being on one for weeks at a time so far away from land is harder than it sounds.

i remember reading in an interview that you have an engineering degree (no creeper intended). are you a petroleum engineer?

 

[loganimlach]

So me.Right now workingmy ass off for 5 month in Norway to take 5 months free and ski as much as possible.

eh it's alright for me right now, def not a career. 3 weeks at a time up here away from home kinda sucks. but then again, 3 weeks off at a time is pretty sweet.
