i work for a chain restaurant as a sous chef and was offered a head chef position, the money would be decent 60k a year. not much but enough to get by. i know there are a few perks in alaska like no sales tax, state tax, and rebates but overall cost of living is my main topic

I went to Alaska on a cruise in August. It was awesome. We took the Inside Passage from Ketchican to Whittier, then flew back from Anchorage. People from Whittier call themselves “whidiots” btw. It isn’t just different geographically. The culture is nothing like southern California. There’s a very, VERY independent spirit there, leaning toward self-sufficiency and away from the nanny-state mentality. Also very conservative. It may not be practical for you to visit beforehand, but maybe you could find out more about what living there is like before you commit. I’m a hot-weather person myself, and I found summer in AK to be very chilly. Can’t imagine what it’s like now.
