Do you usually have to move away for jobs out of college?
Question by kevin2403_2010: Do you usually have to move away for jobs out of college?
I am about to be in college, and really would like to live close to the city where I am going to school. I have family and friends in the area, and would prefer not to move far away for the first few years I am out of school. I am going to school at Florida State in Tallahassee.
When colleges place you in jobs, do they usually have recruiters from far away? How likley is it that I will get a job withing a reasonable distance from Tallahassee?

Colleges don’t place you in jobs. You need to drive your own job search. Use the resources that FSU has in their career center. They’ll list the jobs that have been sent to them by employers. Only apply to those that are in the region you want to work.
Use monster.com and other jobs boards to find jobs near Tallahassee. Use the local newspaper, network with friends, at church, with family, with professors – make sure *everyone* knows that you’re looking, and what you’re looking for.
If you want to stay near Tallahassee, I see no reason why you can’t do so.

I believe you are a little confused dear. Colleges don’t place you in jobs. Just because you go to college and get a degree in your major it doesn’t mean you are guaranteed to even get a job. Especially in this economy. After you graduate from college with your degree, you can go to any job and apply. You can even go out of state if you want to.
