Right. At this point I would have her look at a number of schools-- some on LI, some SUNYs upstate. See what she thinks after some visitations and after the apps go out.
If she is thinking math 7-12, I will say that the job market is less ugly than, say, secondary English or Elementary Ed.
Of my own crowd of friends in the math dept at my school, one went to SUNY Albany (where she was a business major I think, before getting her Masters in secondary math), one went to Adelphi, and 2 of us went to St. Johns. I can’t speak for the other 15 or 16 members of the department.
