Wasn't quite sure where to put this. Former Tiger, Jarvis Green, is now in Real Estate development.

Former New England Patriots football player Jarvis Green and his company, First Millenium Construction, are building a 500-person man camp in Watford City, less than 50 miles north of Williston. Green said he expects to make a 200% to 300% return on the multi-million dollar investment, and he said the lodge should be completed by the end of the year. "Out there they don't have a recession -- you say that word out there and somebody would probably slap you," said Green. "It's the place to be."

Actually a great idea given the activity and continued interest in liquids resource plays such as the Bakken.

Lukes is bringing in roughly $100,000 a year (including overtime pay), nearly triple the amount he made back in Minnesota when he was manufacturing plastics. But it means being far from his family and living in quarters that he likens to a "prison cell."
The facility is wall-to-wall white, with long empty hallways and flourescent lighting. Lukes' room is about 160 square feet, the walls are bare -- except for a drawing from his daughter -- and there's a metal-framed twin bed.
But just think how much more tolerable such things are with smartphones, tablets, Kindles, etc.

You're right. That's a virtual female companion. That makes living in the field with roughnecks REALLY tolerable.
