"Unlike many recent college grads, Wyatt Gilbertson won’t need to wait long to land a job.

Friday, he received his certificate in wind energy technology at Lake Region State College in Devils Lake. At 19, he’s already lined up a final-stage interview with a wind energy company in Hettinger, N.D.

Gilbertson and his classmates expert to earn anywhere from $25 to $35 an hour working as wind technicians. Climbing hundreds of feet above the ground, wind techs help make sure the state’s growing number of wind turbines continue to run smoothly.

The only requirement? A one-year certificate."
