I got the job I have lined up now by calling a dude a few times after my buddy gave me his number and said he might be hiring--networking is the easiest way to get a job.
>>412698>http://www.iretapartments.com/North-Dakota/Minot/Sweet, thanks. My boss told me Minot would be affordable, but the prices on this website are more encouraging than I had anticipated.
>>412708>is ND a good place to go for non oil related jobs?Generally, yes. Some earlier posts in this thread talk about it a bit more.
>How much time do I have to get up there before the oil dries up and the state goes bust?Depends on who you ask.
