Default question

I've always wanted to go to antarctica and thought i might be able to take time after college to get any unskilled labor job down there. Does anyone know if this is realistic or is my plan just some pipe dream?

Hi guys:

http://www.rayjobs.com/index.cfm?NavID=27

there are genaralist non-qualified jobs avaiable, but the more specialised you are the better the job is - in terms of getting out and about and seeing Antarctica instead of being stuck on a base doing others peoples menial chores.
