Advice from Montanans

[steve anderson]

Son is going to Montana..trying to find a job.  He loves the outdoors and hunting, Minnesota doesn't offer him much. He leaves monday for Bozeman/Big Sky area.

Should be able to get work as a construction laborer, maybe Walt will chime in with some advice as he lives there.  So does Randy Morin. When are you moving out here?  Check your email and give him my new phone number and tell him to call if he gets in a pickle    Joseph

There's so many jobs in Wyoming. we can't give them away!. If he doesn't find what he wants in Montana, have him come down here. Some employers are even offering a sign-up bonus.

Steve,
You have a PM.

Hi Steve,
  My wife and I and our 2 daughters live in Missoula. Your son will do well, especially if he's willing to take a lesser job than his dream job at first.
  I loaded my pickup and drove to Boulder, CO from PA in 1992. I stayed one night in a motel and signed a lease on an apartment the next day. Worked picking up scrap from trimmers and framers for a month till I found full time temp work and then a permanent job in CAD drafting and design. My future wife came out to CO a month after I did and also worked temp jobs for a month or so till she found a position. We were both college grads but took what was available.
 Subscribing to a couple local papers in different areas for a few months before making the move helps give you an idea of what the communities are like, jobs, real estate, etc..
  Contact me here if he needs a hand. Don't worry too much Dad, he'll love it!
Tim
