Job placement outside of the south

My son loved Furman, but wants to come back West after graduation. Our biggest concern with the school is that it might have a regional reputation, as people in our area are not familiar with it. Is it difficult to find internships and job opportunities outside of the south?

My daughter had internships both in NYC and Greenville (by choice). She had no problem getting a job in Manhattan and her classmates are in a variety of cities outside the South including Seoul. I know there are a lot of Furman grads in New York.
