You may be able to find under the table cash jobs on alaskaslist.com or on Craigslist.org. Not sure you will be able to find any paying flying jobs without a green card, even if you have an FAA ATP.
You won't have any trouble finding skullduggery options and bars. Just ask at your hotel or hostel.
Thanks for your reply man, we're researching some flyfishing and hiking options. We can't do it all, but we're hoping to get in at least some hiking, fishing or hunting, and at least a float rating ! maybe some skiing. Were all excited for an adventure.
How are the alaskans with regards to foreigners? a lot of places, eg the caribbean and Mauritius have not been very welcoming to foreigners looking for work.
