    College Enrollment Increased in Wake of North Dakota Oilfield Boom, My Colleges and Careers Can Help Students Earn Degrees While Working Full Time

    PRWeb – Thu, Nov 3, 2011

    Major news outlets, including CNN and the Wall Street Journal, have recently reported on the North Dakota oil boom. Developments in technology have made it possible to drill oil in areas, such as that in Williston, N.D., that were previously impossible. National Public Radio recently reported that in the U.S. alone there are a potential 2 trillion barrels of oil waiting to be drilled. With this renewed interest in domestic oil drilling, Williston State College reported that many people are returning to school to receive certification in petroleum production, welding, or diesel technology. My Colleges and Careers can help first-time students and returning students to earn online degrees that will help them advance in their oil production-related careers.

    Major news outlets, including CNN and the Wall Street Journal, have recently reported on the North Dakota oil boom. Developments in technology have made it possible to drill oil in areas, such as that in Williston, N.D., that were previously impossible. National Public Radio recently reported that in the U.S. alone there are a potential 2 trillion barrels of oil waiting to be drilled. With this renewed interest in domestic oil drilling, Williston State College reported that many people are returning to school to receive certification in petroleum production, welding, or diesel technology. My Colleges and Careers can help first-time students and returning students to earn online degrees that will help them advance in their oil production-related careers.

    In another report by CNN, a professor at Williston State College said that many of his students are registering for classes in oil production-related fields. The more education a student has, the more likely it will be for them to get one of the higher paying jobs. Many of the positions in Williston, N.D. already offer three figure salaries, according to the major news outlets. My Colleges and Careers provides statistics for the best online colleges.
