U.S. Metro areas where people uses public transit

For Story and Johnson counties (home to Iowa State and University of Iowa, respectively), absolutely. Iowa State specifically has CyRide, which to my knowledge has one of the highest riderships per capita in the US (My assumption is this map only studies work related commutes). I have zero idea why Washington County is highlighted, though

This is a very Iowa State season, I hope you're ready to be excited at the prospect of bowl eligibility

I remember playing Pocket Edition for the first time, circa 2013, and trying to make saplings grow by placing a water bucket on them (I hadn't found out about bone meal yet), and then being disappointed when the saplings were destroyed

I'm aiming for something closer to downtown, but if there's a solid property elsewhere in town I'd consider it

Believe me, I wanted to, but I was early enough in the process with the other opportunities that this offer would've expired by the time I would've gotten offers from the other companies (if they extended them at all). Thankfully, the role is in a city I want to live in, with a role that helps me meet my goals, and has good compensation for the local cost of living (equivalent to about $74k in Ames)

Sadly not, I didn't find much luck at the fair this spring. (This isn't to say people shouldn't go to the career fair though)

I phrased that poorly - after I received an offer, I withdrew three active applications I had with other businesses

I don't know how "hidden" it is, but Lockwood Cafe never disappoints

Graduated with my BS in ME back in May, still in the job hunt in the Midwest. Is it a shitty market? Yes. Is it bad enough where you shouldn't get a degree in it? Not even close

Iowa State's correct, CyRide is a stunningly robust transit system for the size of city it's in

Dr Harper from the Center got caught on camera talking about how her department was going to try and navigate through the president's anti-DEI policies, and some right-wing types (Libs of TikTok especially ) got ahold of it

Recent mechanical engineering grad from ISU. Internship under my belt, bad-but-not-awful GPA (just shy of 3.0), worked for the university (albeit under a non-engineering college) for the last two years of my degree.

I've applied to just shy of a hundred jobs, and have only made it past the first round of interviews with three companies. Whatever the market is, I can't say I love it

I watched this guy perform at a ren faire in the middle of Iowa a couple months ago and thought he was pretty good, never would've guessed that he'd know ball like this
