I am going to graduate with an Master's in Social Work and I looking to move out of New York. As you can tell, I am not oppose to moving to another state. I just don't wan to move somewhere where the job market for social service is small. Any positive advice would be helpful.

Oh yeah, New Jersey is out of the question. I am aware of their social service agencies.
