Speak Out
Should I stay, or should I go?
October 17, 2019 by Frank Baker in Speak Out
Answer the following questions with “yes” or “no”
  1. I have a job
  2. My home is mostly paid for
  3. My car is mostly paid for
  4. I am an avid outdoor recreationist
  5. I am in the military
  6. Most of my family members are in Alaska
  7. I am fiercely independent and dislike government telling me what to do
  8. I do not like crowds of people
  9. I like our current governor
  10. I have kids who like their schools
Total number of “yes” answers is your score

6-10 – It would take a magnitude 10 earthquake, combined with a flood and fire, to get you out of Alaska.
3-5– You travel frequently and know of other places you’d like to live, but something keeps you here.
1-2 – You are packed up, almost on your way, but you might be having second thoughts.
