If you want to live out here, Yoo-dub will definitely set you up well. In fact, it will set you up better for jobs in Oregon and Washington than your boyfriend's Oregon school (any of them) will set him up for jobs in Washington.

They're also paid very well, so you can reduce your law school debt if you eventually do choose to attend.
