Are they still hiring?

They are always hiring. My uncle inlaw is in that industry. People are consistently cycling threw, and with more and more rigs up there going in. They need more guys to work them. Lots of dudes get fast cash and go all dummy and do a bunch of stupid shit. It's a rough and rowdy group.

I lived in MN for 4 years. I would make a thick comforter stuffed with $100 bills, and smile myself to sleep every night.
