I've been thinking about it myself. I would love to go do that for awhile and save up a bunch of money so I could move to wherever I want and have the savings to fall back on while looking for employment. I wonder how much they pay for jobs like sand loader and winch truck driver.

It's funny, a lot of the jobs listed are in Ross, ND. If you look up Ross on Wikipedia, it says that the last measured population was 97! That's smaller than a lot of Arctic bush villages! I wonder where in the world they're putting all those workers; no way is there enough pre-existing housing.
