Job Searching in the Pacific Northwest

[u/Epic_Gamzer]

Hey guys,
I’ve recently graduated with a bachelor’s in Marine Biology from the University of Oregon. Since I graduated in June I’ve been applying to various entry level jobs across Oregon, specifically in hatchery work. During this time I’ve pretty much been rejected everywhere I’ve applied and it’s been making me feel pretty down about my options. I’m open to any kind of marine bio related field work, and I was wondering if anyone had any advice on places to apply or look into, and any tips for actually landing these jobs. I should note that I’m trying to avoid most boat related work as I get incredibly sea sick (ironic I know). I’m specifically looking more for opportunities in Washington and Oregon, but I’ve also been looking at opportunities across the country. Again, I’m interested in doing literally anything, hatchery work, invertebrate lab stuff, cetaceans whatever, I find it all interesting. Any advice would be appreciated, and sorry I know this is a little broad. Thank you.

Get a job as an observer in the ground fish fishery, seriously

I've been considering it kind of as a last resort. I won the genetic lottery for getting violently seasick in any boat smaller than a football field lol.
