Let me heed some advice to anyone just getting out of school. Apply for this job. Real unemployment is at 22%. Most jobs out there are either a unpaid internship for new grads or they require 5 years of experience, which, guess what kiddo, you don't have. Get job experience. Get business experience regardless of your major. Having business experience will not hurt your biology ambitions.

 

Plus, it's probably the coolest small city in Washington. Close to Baker, WA Pass, Whistler and Squamish. Cheaper housing then Seattle area, great food, TJs and Costco, stable economy thanks to all the Canucks coming across to shop.
