Would you really leave Palm Springs for the frozen north for an entry level position ? If you really thought you had what it takes, I would say you could go into business for yourself in ND running title for mineral owners, if no one else. I think I could talk unwitting mineral owners into sending me a lease in exchange for a worthless 120 day draft tying up their minerals for 6 months. If you go to work for someone else you may have to do just that. I'm sure I wouldn't have the stomach for that and it may be a job requirement, or I would look into it myself.
