    MBI Energy Services in Belfield, ND. They're kind of the Swift of the oilfield in ND. Not a bad place to work. But I believe they're on commission now.

    If you have a clean CDL their are plenty of seasonal driving opportunities that pay between 1100 and 1700/week for 5-6 months of work. Search seasonal tanker asphalt or aggregate. It is pretty easy to make 25-30K in a season.

    It's not that bad in the oil field, if you go broke and get used up in oil field you would have done the same working at McDonald's. I set a goal of three years in Wesf Texas, found a great job salary of 97,400 a year any thing over that monthly salary was cut in a separate check at end of the month, they paid for my apartment and all utilities. I'm back home but still keep my eye on it, the rates right now are t great, I'm making more hauling cryogenics.

    And no one can predict the oil field but my feeling is oil will creep up just enough for companies to flock back to drilling and flood the market pretty quickly, and oil will drop back down.

    You should be making way more than a grand a week in the oilfields.
