[quote=Anonymous]I'm not talking about going to Harvard or top-tier schools which will have recruiters from everywhere, but more average schools. For example, if my child wants to be a teacher and she goes to Towson, doesn't that sort of push her into teaching in Maryland, at least at first? Or if I send her clear across the country to Arizona, wouldn't she likely get a job out there? I have a niece who is a senior at Florida State and I asked her where most of the jobs are located that recruiters come to the school for, and she said "Florida."

My daughter who is a junior thinks she wants to go to school out of state, and I'm for it, as I think it will broaden her horizons. But it just got me thinking that there's a good chance the job that follows school will also be in that area, so she should really think about where she'd like to end up. She is thinking of teaching, and I think that major in particular lends itself to jobs within the state where you graduate due to the state's teaching requirements.

Any thoughts? Am I correct in this line of thinking or not?

Thanks![/quote]
