That part about moving is spot on. Be willing to move for your first job in the profession. A few of years down the road, when you have a track record, you'll be able to land a job in the place where you actually want to live.

In the unionized trades, there's a status called journeyman. It means somebody who's capable but hasn't achieved master craftsman status. In the old day of the guilds, a person who finished apprenticeship with a master craftsman literally went on the road -- took a journey -- moving from place to place to pick up work and experience until he finally was ready to be a master and found a town or place where he could set up his own shop. You are a journeyman.
