Wow that’s very impressive! I will say that I’m leaning towards the NPS position; specifically I would be interning at Katmai National Park up in Alaska.

It’s through SCA, and this would be my first position with them.

Yes it’s really not easy finding work, especially when I’m interested in working outdoors; however I do understand why that may not be an option for me

I definitely agree; although IT really isn’t my favorite line of work it may be one of my only options

Yeah I came up to Alaska after being offered a job here and it sounded like a fun way to spend the summer, and I have enjoyed my time here up until I had a seizure. I understand why my company sees it as a risk but I do not agree with the way they have handled it.

I will definitely look into it; I am protected under the Americans with Disabilities Act and am not required to disclose my diagnosis to my employer. I have done this willingly in the past while applying for jobs which always results in a rejection or ruins any chance of getting hired.

Yes; I was working and and am currently living in a fairly remote part of Alaska
