Oil field/rig hands

I found this ad while searching online for a job. Having never been around the oil industry I was interested in what some of you who have been thought of this ad? Personally, my B.S. detector went off. Sure paints a rosy picture but somehow I bet some of you don't believe this or at least will get a laugh out of it. Here is the link. Thanks for reading/replying.

The pay is about right. The food is good if you know how to cook ! The living Quarters are clean IF you keep them that way. And you do only work six months out of the year. you work 7 days on and 7 days off. Not sure what they are doing in Kansas.

You reply to them and send a application. They will need $ for processing and $$$ for the guaranteed interview.
There are a lot of opportunities in the patch. North Dakota is booming. There is a need for a lot of field workers in LA, east TX and here in Gods Country.
All you have to do is show up, have a lunch bucket, steel toe shoes and be able to pass a pee test. Here in GC these hands start $11 to $13 per no sub, no man camp.
