Business Outlook
Pros
The salary is for a full year, but the vast majority of the work, depending on your boss, is from January to April, which are the sucky months in Alaska anyways. This job is like getting paid (a pretty good salary) to go to grad school--you learn everything about how the state operates.
Cons
You have to uproot your life and go to Juneau 4 months (or more) every year. Your boss can be a raging narcissistic dictator--and you have to take it. Discussions often take place on a fifth-grade level, and it's sometimes hard to tell whether the legislators really are that dumb or are just talking down to the people of Alaska, who they think really are that dumb.
