Guys this is exactly what the Canadian boom town of Fort Mac was like 5-6 years ago, the time to be there is NOW. If you've got nothing else going on work wise or are a young, adventurous type with ambition and drive, get up there as quick as you can.
Ideally, if I was to go there, I'd buy a shitty winnebago or truck with a fifth wheel, head up to Williston and see what happens. Worse case scenario is that you come home a couple grand poorer, but if you're reading this blog you probably have a desire to get ahead in life, travel, make money, etc so by going there, you'll get a job.
Guaranteed it sucks massive balls up there, just like Fort Mac does, but it isn't about lifestyle, its about the money and valuable work experience a guy can obtain up there. Like the OP said, if you're not happy with your work situation right now, whay aren't you in North Dakota?
Take it from me guys, I`m proof that a guy with absolutely no skills or mechanical aptitude can move from a low income part of his country to a boom town like this and be making six figures within a year or two. Just do it!
