i'm a crab fisherman in Alaska for part of the year. lt's a physically demanding job-you work 12 to 14 hours a day, often in terrible weather. It's also one of the most hazardous jobs in the world-a lot of people die doing it every year . i do it because i can make a lot of money fast-about$50,000 for eight weeks of work. but it isn't steady work.After two or three months, i'm out of a job.
