I can't remember who said it, but the best language is the one that surprises you the least.
To frame that statement into the context of this post and its rebuttals, working daily with the language in question has led to many surprises for myself.

NBS builds analytics tools for the music industry by marrying social media data with traditional music industry data such as record sales, radio play, and digital sales. Raised a Series A in the beginning of the year and are looking for talented people to build out our team.
I bought a used luxury car recently and went through the exact same thought process as this.
I went a little heavy on the analysis side of things and created a dataset of 15 years of KBB sales for 5 models I was looking at. I found that cars values tend to follow a half life. The half-life for a subaru wrx was the highest at somewhere around 6 years. Those suckers really hold their value.
I ended up purchasing a 2004 BMW 330xi despite the value time series data not being the strongest between the models I was looking at. It's just a sweet ride for the price.
As a college senior, my experience with career fairs has been sub-par. In fact I stopped going two years ago. My main qualm is the type of companies that set up booths. They are always Lockheed Martin, Microsoft, Haliburton and other extremely large companies. I think getting, smaller, local companies involved would be a great idea. I did get a summer job at Qualcomm from one of these career fairs, but honestly it sucked and has turned me off from working at a Fortune 500 company as a new grad.

I live in Boulder as well and would love to be able to check out the intern position, if that's feasible for working remotely. I wouldn't mind traveling to the HQ every couple of weeks on my dime even.
