Isn't peanut butter about $10 a jar in Alaska? And let's not talk about the cost of toilet paper. Have you seen the joke about using one square of toilet paper to take care of business? I think it came from Alaska and it wasn't a joke.

I hear the lead is an abosolute pain.............

Actually, the prices aren't much worse than down in America...It's the so-called 'luxury' items that they get you on. Staples (milk/eggs etc) are just a little more than they were in Seattle, but things like soda, munchies and the like are 3 times as much.

One square? lol, I use polar bear fur myself. Softer, and environmentally friendly (even if it isn't bear-friendly).

:lol:

I worked for Motorola for a few years and I made 21.75 and hr, I got laid of in 2002 and now I work for AAA and make 9.35 and hour I think that is a lot better job then what I make now...

It's an installers job. The bench techs and field guys are compensated differently.

yes they probably are, but I look at it this way, if I get in as a low paid installer with all my Motorola certifications and experience then I might be able to slide in the tech position when it opens. I can tell you I would rather be doing install work on radios at 20.00 an hour then driving a towtruck for 9 an hour!
