[a.d.85]

I am getting ready to finish up junior year of college which means only one more year until the "real world" so to speak. I currently attend Indiana University in Bloomington majoring in Graphic Design, but i would really like to relocate out west after graduation. I love Bloomington as far as the atmosphere and way of life here, it's a very diverse community with a small town feel, yet has something for everyone. However the mountains are really where i want to be as my true passion is skiing and i have just begun mountain biking which i also really enjoy.

Basically does anyone have any suggestions of some fun places to live out west, similar to Bloomington, where i could get a good job (with a degree in Graphic Design) and be able to pursue my love of the mountains. Also, it would be an added bonus to be within a short distance of a major airport as all of my family lives here in Indiana.

My advice is to not worry where you want to live, just yet.
Find a job and company that will nurture your talent so you can refine your skills. Once you are accomplished with a proven track record you can command more salary and have doors open that are right now closed...

just my 2 cents

Unless the graphic design industry is dramatically different than the IT industry, you're in no position to get picky about location. Do everything you can to get in with a company that will develop your skills and support you through the first year or so of growing pains. If you can find a company that is also recognizable on a resume, even better. Once you've got some experiences, then start looking to relocate.

You've got a lot of life ahead of you. Don't screw yourself this soon by taking a bad job in a good locale.

Keep in mind... just because you're not in the Rockies doesn't mean you can't enjoy other mountains.

As long as your mobile, your good to go. There are many great places to live based on areas that support your line of future work.

I disagree with most of the advice so far.

Go explore. Find a place you like. Live there. Find a job, etc.

Live life.

If you're more interested in a career than f***ing around in the mountains, please disregard my advice.

Western Washington, Seattle or Bellingham. Lots of good riding and there should be jobs.

Seriously, though - drop me a PM when you're thinking about heading up and we'll try to get a mini- gathering together.

When you say "little" bro - you mean younger? What - is he like 48 or something? :evil:

You said "werd".

I just have trouble seeing you actually saying that.

it's my interweb personality coming out. My on-line personality is very different than my in-person personality.
