Frost/Christian McCaffrey story

Not sure I buy that Nike is actually giving dozens of semi-literate Oregon grads 6 figure jobs every year. Especially as they've had rounds of layoffs, and their HQ employee count has gone steadily down for the past few years.

Maybe it's a vague idea they throw out there to entice 17 year olds who think it must be cool because it has the swoosh.

I live in SW WA, have kept an eye on it. A susprising amount have gotten jobs there. Even the Omaha Central kid who went out there - he was employed at Nike. Might still be.

EDIT: found him. Was there for almost 8 yrs actually.

But you're right...you actually have to be smart enough to get the job. They're not giving anybody anything. And you're also right that Nike always has a fuck ton of layoffs so you'll probably get the axe at some point.

Working at Nike is actually highly overrated. They pay for shit & work you very hard. And eventually lay you off.
