Elon is one of the best schools in the South and its national footprint expands every year. I really don’t think you should worry about being limited job-wise. Often that happens but its by choice. Elon is well known in the major Southern job markets and if you want to leave you should have no problem. If you look at the Elon website just 30% of students started careers in North Carolina and I would bet Charlotte and Raleigh and would also bet most chose this because they are from NC.
