WAS a great town

I agree whole heartedly with the fact that Bozeman is ruining what made it great. The city has pretty much turned it's back on the university and it's students by catering to out of state yuppies (case in point: The R Bar).
The town will hire the local college grads, and pay them peanuts, because they can (a lot of grads would like to stay), I stayed an extra year and all my engineering degree got me was a job swinging a hammer and a night job slinging pizza just trying to make ends meet. The only success to be found in Bozeman is if you bring your own money or get your degree and get out. I worked building customs homes, never a single Montanan client, never met an MSU grad in Bozeman making more than 50K/yr, which will never buy a house in Bozeman (Belgrade maybe).
Gallatin county will continue to grow into a unrecognizeable blob of over priced houses while the college students won't be able to afford to set foot off campus.
