I am from India, Does anybody know about employers that hire Indians for Alaska fishing jobs? No where near half of the commercial fisherman die, but it is hard, dangerous, difficult work. The state of Alaska has a website dedicated to recruiting and informing people about commercial fishing jobs: http://www.labor.state.ak.us/esd_alaska_... There also is a notice on the website that the state of Alaska does not assist foreign nationals in obtaining employment. Most of my family up there have been in the commercial fishing industry. Most of them made about as much money as I do as an Engineer. However, they work 10x harder for it than I do (and if there are bad times, I make the same amount of money...they get nothing). I'd recommend another line of work. However, if your heart is set on being a fisherman, look for a job off of the state of Alaska website. If you are legal to work in the US, you can also go to Alaska and work in a fish processign plant (what is called a slime line). This is about the worst job imaginable, but you'll be in Alaska and if there are any leads for boat work, you can jump on them immediately. Living in Alaska is very expensive and there is little good paying work. If you decide to go, I'd make sure you have a way back home; be prepared in case you can't "make it" there). One more thing. Working on the fishing boats...you are usually paid a percentage (half of what others make when you first start). You are "exempt" and federal minimum wage laws do not apply to the boat crews. If you have a bad season, you don't get paid. Best of luck to you!! the fishing season is short and very, very dangerous in alaska... half of the people who go out die... but i would think that anyone with the physical capability would be able to get the job... |
