Many people who travel to North Korea as tourists believe that, by engaging with North Koreans, they are able to humanize foreigners and perhaps help change North Korean's minds about them. However, others believe tourism there is wrong because much of the money goes to support an oppressive government. In your opinion, do you think that tourism in North Korea is a positive force or a negative one?

He has not. He has a TED talk out where he gives a short speech to her at the very end, it's extremely emotional.

I did wireline in ND for 2 years. It can be a very expensive place to live, but the pay is also much higher. The walmart there pays more than what this guy makes, no joke. As for experience you generally don't need any, but a CDL required for many positions out there.
