Only you can answer that question. As long as I've been living, I've come to the conclusion that MOST of the advice people will give you is useless. Sure you'll get a few people that offer decent info but for the most part, you'll end up back at square 1-------

I were in your shoes I'd probably look to other areas with lower rents and lower unemployment rates. There are a lot of companies headquartered in Connecticut, Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia, St. Louis, Dallas, Kansas City, and Denver. And don't look just to large companies. Join as many marketing groups as you can (AMA is particularly helpful and their job board currently has 4000 listings!) and network. Too bad you hadn't posted this a couple of months ago when I was looking to hire an entry level marketing and business development person. Good luck!

I vote for South Dakota. Very low unemployment rate and parts of it are pretty.
In this economy, I would focus on the places with the lowest unemployment rates. Once you get experience, you can set your sights on more exciting places.

I'd look at the potential job market for MARKETING jobs in South Dakota before moving there. My guess is that there aren't going to be a ton of entry level marketing jobs in South Dakota.

True, ideally a place with many headquarters would be the best place to be. There is always Minneapolis nearby. Brutal winters but still fairly low unemployment rate and lots of headquarters.
I would not want to be in FL or CA right now. Unemployment rates are simply too high. I lived in CA for many years and even I wouldn't go back there now. My resume has been ruined and I could not compete.
One thing to think about and it's the competition. Competition for jobs is fierce in some cities. A person has to consider the labor pool and levels of education. Some cities are filled with people who have advanced degrees (which may or may not help in this day and age). This would include LA and NYC.
