I'm a OOS finance major and agree there are good jobs locally and in surrounding states. Ill probably get people not agreeing but I'd put FL and TX in the not southern bucket. Looking specifically at accounting, the Big 4 firms have one office in major cities. If you take away AL and surrounding states, that still leaves ~45 other states and their major cities with offices. Granted these offices recruit from local universities, but having connections in those offices and cities would benefit girls and guys here as well. I can agree with OP that there my be missed connections because some houses continue to focus on their high school friends. Yes I know there are tons of jobs at small accounting firms locally but there are only 4 Big firms nationally that most accountants want. Just a fact. Also, I think this really only impacts certain jobs. Teachers,nurses,etc are needed everywhere so I don't see those professions as needing a huge OOS network. Some of the business, engineering, pre-med majors could really benefit from a larger network.
