Remove the fact that you are from Cali or you will run into some walls here . I too know nothing about Juneau. But good luck

Juneau in nice but like most southeast towns it's isolated. You might try to start off your search by reading the Juneau Empire their daily news. Try to plan on arriving in town with at least 10K in cash. You'll need it.

9-5 isn't a grind when you have a family, it's a necessity. Rug-rats and crumb-snatchers need to eat and be clothed on an every day basis. I've tried to get my kids to stop eating (I tell them it's a bad habit and they need to break it, but that hasn't worked so far).
