SO but seriously... if I lived in Seattle I would sign up for this.

Its always a good opportunity to intern at a company in the industry. Hell you could argue I got my start volunteering as a digger at high north.

This is a great opportunity, if I was still in school I would definitely apply. Just checked out the careers page over at K2, I'm a civil engineer, but hell I'm gonna apply for the Full Tilt Engineer position.

errrr as an engineer I would like to know which respectable firms you know don't drug test.


that being said i'm waiting for the day that a ski company advertises the need for an engineer like this... such a sick opportunity

Josh is definitely mad. I once watched him lose a ski in the halfpipe at Stevens--the blood of at least half a dozen gapers was oozing into the snow before his rage was sated.

currently the one i am working for, and every other private firm that i know of. And yes, the one i work for is well respected enough to have built the Oracle, Yahoo, and google campuses along with many other high profile jobs.

Hell, the CEO still thinks he is in college when he is off the clock, i barely beat his keg stand time.

Congradufuckinglations. Line obviously has decided to do something different. No one is making you work for them.

thank you. And i already have a decent career underway.


I just think it sucks that line promotes smoking weed through its marketing, but then says that those who do smoke arent good enough to work for them. Just seems hypocritical, and hypocrites annoy me.

Welcome to the real world.  What do you think the application process for jobs after college are going to be like?  Wish I would've had the chance to participate in this when I was in school.

hahah i love that the only part of this post anyone is talking about is passing a drug test. its such a sick offer. tons of jobs make you pass drugtests. why dont you focus on the fact that a sick company is offering a sick deal. if i lived in washington i would hop on this sooo fast. if you need anyone in maine id be more than happy to quit smoking for this job!

ITS CORPORATE POLICY FOR JARDEN you fuck, now let it go.

You think they went out of their way to make that decision? Can you not fucking read the posts Josh made? It's Company wide. Get the fuck over it.

"I just think"... you suck. Now move along...

Yeah not to further the debate but seriously, if getting high is further up on your priorities than getting a cool gig than you seriously don't deserve. That's cool if you get high and I'm not tryin to tell ya your a bad person but damn dude. They're tryin to make a decent product and I dont give a crap what study you show me.....potheads typically aren't the best employees. There are exceptions for sure but if you can increase your chances of getting a quality employee than power to em. And to those sayin line is shit quality....that's horseypoop! I've been buying lines since way back, like in the beginning, and to this day I have yet to have a major issue. I had one issue a few years back and they went above and beyond to make it right. This spoke volumes to me and I'm a customer for life. And on top of that IMO they are putting out skis that are unmatched. Line is constantly ahead of the curve. With that said I'll be the first one to say I'm not happy about the K2 thing. I also will be the first to say I hate looking down at my skis and seeing "made in china". It sucks. Being a fellow vermonter I'm proud of what jay has done as far as coming from nothing and creating IMO the most cutting edge ski company going right now. So it's an extra gouge to me that my skis no longer say "made in the USA". But it is what it is, and they've been good to me so I'm sticking with em. I think someone getting a shot at being an intern there would jump through whatever hoops needed and consider themselves fortunate.

You mad cuz you want the internship and would fail the drug test.

And lol, you think the ski names "chronic" and "chronic blend" refer to weed? There are other meanings to the word you know other than your slang.

Stop talking about drugs in this thread.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Discussing a controvercial topic like weed doesn't mean u guys should shit on each others opinions or question credentials. We're all newschoolers here now lets act like it.
