I'm coming up to North Dakota because of the economy, and the fact I can't stand not working and providing for my family, but I'm also coming with a plan! The plan is to retire in 15 years with a truck load of money! Out of work and 25? How about retiring at the age of 40? Out of work and 40? How about retiring at the age of 65, and not have to worry about a pension plan.
Get your certifications! Learn about this industry, you would be amazed at the information you can find! You want a job and be a Roustabout for the next 20 years, great! But, what if you made it a career and became a Driller or a Tool Pusher? Do your research, and then make a new plan!

ShagKing you are thinking to small. I plan on becoming an oilman and real estate mogul all wrapped up in one. If Jerry Jones can do it, why can't I?

I never said that I wasn't going to branch out. I can't let all of the secrets out of the bag. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to yell at a buddy of mine, from a yacht just offshore in the Caribbean, "Looking good Reggie!" and have him yell back, "Feeling good Lewis!" And who doesn't want a front door that's 15 feet fall tall?!?
For you youngsters out there, that's from "Trading Places".
At the Chateau Walmare... the doors are about the size of a car or truck...LOL
Spoke to one of my buddies up there this afternoon... Says they're saying the same thing... "ratio is off"... so, they'll be hiring in a week or two or three for entry level rig jobs

LOL! Yeah, back when Eddie Murphy was at the top of his game. And an interesting and entertaining article covering his career arc:
I'm sure that they will offer housing where there is a housing shortage, such as Williston. If hiring for an area such as Midland/Odessa though, there will be no housing. And if they're hiring 1500 people in the next 3 months, then they will be hiring for all of their locations in North America.

I would like to confirm this because I may go if housing is offered regardless of the location (Midland/Odessa is now booming again). Otherwise I will just save my pennies for Williston.
internationalman - Bet if you went elsewhere for a company that has work in ND... and asked for a transfer to ND, they'd transfer you in a heartbeat... or send you for an evaluation... LOL
the job offers that they gave last week were rotational, 14 and 7, 21 and 7, and included housing, airfare to and from the locations and the locations included, PA, ND, WY and OK. Thats the locations that i know people were going to. They made me an offer and sent me to rock springs, wy. just waiting on the background and drug tests results to come back. they said it takes about 3 weeks. If you have a cdl, you will go to the front of the line and a offer is almost assured. the starting pay is lower than what people are saying on these forums, but once you get in the house you can look at all the rooms and go from there.
