I'm coming to the end of my CA-2 year and am in the networking / life-decision making portion of residency. I grew up near the mountains and have lived most my life in places where snow shovels are a must, although I'm in residency in Texas. I have 3 young kids 5 and under who have always lived in warm climates and a wife who loves the outdoors and grew up in an area where cows severely outnumbered the people. I am seriously considering pursuing a job in Alaska since it's always something I've wanted to do and I have no particular geographic restrictions. Can anyone who has practiced in Alaska (or anything with some resemblance) comment on the job market, climate acclimation, overall difficulties etc of making such a move? I would appreciate any and all view points that I may not have considered. Feel free to tell me I'm crazy as long as you share why you think so. Thanks.
