Well there we go. It says Burger King pays $14 an hour. Sounds like it's right up the OP's alley.

Holy cow, BK pays $14 an hour? Why am I still working for the university?

And you probably get free lunch too! If I do that on my days off...I won't even have to dirty any dishes!

There are some guys that work here as truck drivers and they go 5-6-7-8 weeks stretches. But they usually take the entire summer months off just working winter time. I could never do it. I can hardly go 2 weeks anymore. It's like jail. Only the food is worse here!

Because you're in Juneau and not in Canada?

Click the linky sanspeur posted--it's interesting reading.

Rance, I like a 2 on and 2 off myself...especially if the first and last day are travel days that count as work. But I'm looking at 3 on and 2 off soon, not crazy about that but what the hell.

But you'll be monied up! And can afford to take a nice vacation during your off time...or buy some land or build a house or whatever you want to do. Kudos to you!

Well, I did turn down a job recently that was 6 on 2 off---just didn't appeal and I couldn't see myself doing that for more than a few months without going bat****. They didn't provide transportation expenses either.

You'd miss a lot of summer working a schedule like that.

Yeah, and I think 6 weeks is just too damn long to be out at any camp.
