[quote=Anonymous]I think this is a very typical DCUM thread -- many people extrapolate their experience to a general experience, i went to school in South Dakota and have a job in DC therefore all kids who went to South Dakota can get jobs in DC . . . . Most schools publish statistics on where their students get jobs, or where employers who recruit on campus come from.  My guess is at the vast majority of schools, most recruitment will be local/regional.  That does not mean if someone goes to school at Arizona State they are consigned to Arizona, which may not be a bad thing anyway, but it does mean that if you think you might want to work on the East Coast after graduation and you have options, it might be better to choose an East Coast school.  People are right that most HS seniors have been exposed to very little and may not know where they want to live but that does not mean that they should ignore the likely regional job prospects of most schools.  I hope it all works out but give a specific look at the college stats where your child is considering.   [/quote]
