Can’t make the WiFi work from the Viking camp at the moment, but I’m making this quick post from a booth sponsored by SRT Communications (credit where credit’s due, and all that).
If you’re looking for work, I might suggest Minot. Jobs are going begging around here. There are three caveats to that statement of fact, however:
1. Once you get here, you’ll find out there are better paying jobs further west, where the oil boom is booming in a booming way. Which is one reason so many jobs are unfilled here.
2. Housing is very limited, due to flood damage.
3. North Dakota winters.
Nevertheless, for those looking for jobs and a decent community to live in, you could do a lot worse than Minot, North Dakota.
It’s about time for Hostfest to begin, so I’ll sign off for now.
Thanks for signing in with this helpful report. Americans need to know where the jobs are, and Minot needs a beneficent surge of it’s own.
FWIW, you can follow event comments on Twitter with #hostfest.
A friend attended the Air Force Academy. His commander there often responded to his antics with the phrase, “Why not Minot.” Apparently, back in the late 70’s you had to work hard to get a posting to the Minot AFB.
