These cover customer service and I've not had anyone complain about how I deal with customers, well spoken and very clear.

The certificates I have for beauty covers nails, lashes, waxing, facials, massages etc. Again all level 2 and 3 certificates.

You will both be able to find jobs up here.

Not looking to move until they have finished finished high school as then gives us plenty of time to visit different locations, look at job opportunities, etc, to save money and have a good plan in hand instead of just jumping into the deep end and not knowing what or where to go or do

I think you could both easily find good work up here and that that's a solid long-term plan.

I work directly with the fishing industry. The majority of the deck hands I meet are from the lower 48. Everyone at the fisheries I've been to all live in the middle east, mexico, Africa, and the lower 48.

Small world. I work directly with the fishing industry as well and have for more years than I care to mention here, and my family before me. Nice to "meet" you. I'm in southern SE; not many international workers down here, but plenty from the -48.

My son was born in Palmer. Nice place.
