I can't answer the question you're after, because I don't really think it's the question you want answered.
You said you don't have much going on by way of career right now. So it's not like staying put is going to be a big career move.
When lurkette and I were seniors in college, we were engaged. She started applying to grad schools. I didn't have any concrete post-graduation plans, but she did. So when she got accepted at UNC, we moved right down here.
Here's where we're similar--staying put wouldn't have been a big career thing. Picking up and starting somewhere else was about as good for me as anything else I could do.
The economy's not so hot in California right now, but that state usually rebounds earlier than anywhere else in the country. Unemployment is high everywhere.
I say (and this is SEPARATE from the advice that yournamehere gave you) you may as well start your career in California as anywhere. If you join the Coast Guard as a CA resident, you'll be much more likely to stay put, I'd think. They've got a coast out there to guard, ya know... At least she's not moving you to Ohio!
