Considering a job in Harlowton (Billings, Great Falls: job market, school, living)

[riddleclan]

Can anyone give me any information about Harlowton? It looks like I may have a job opportunity there. My husband is from Montana and he has family all over from Billings to Great Falls to Wolf Point and so on. Does anyone know if they have internet or what the people or the school is like? I have a 15yr old and an 11yr old that would be making the trip if I decide to take the job.

Any information that you can give me would be great! I've done 'stat' research but am looking for anyother information that I can find.

Thanks to everyone that can help

Harlowton is a great town. My nephew lives there (he works for the Fish & Game) and absolutely loves it. They do have internet service - he emails me - but I'm not sure if it's high-speed or not. If not you could always do satellite internet.

From what he's said the school is great. He has been impressed with the teacher's attitudes, etc.

I'll talk to him and see what else he can tell me. I've been there but it's not the same at living there.

If I took the position my husband would move out this summer while I would move within the next month or two. I'm worried about him being able to find a job. Do you know if it's hard to find a job there?

Thank you for your response MTH!

I'm not sure how the job market is there. I'll ask my nephew tonight. Harlowton is a fairly small town but there are other towns around also that might have something. I'll let you know asap.

harlowton is a great small town,my grandfather was from there,and i still have cousins there .jobs could be a problem though.what does your husband do?its a pretty long commute to any city of any size.about 75 miles to lewiston and about 100 or so to billings or great falls.school system there is good.if i thought i could make a living there id move there myself but most of the locals are farmers or ranchers
