Finding a job in engineering, can I choose the city?

My girlfriend(future wife) is planning on going to vet school at Colorado State University in Fort Collins after we have received our bachelor's degrees, which is in two years. Being separated for four years while she gets her degree seems less than ideal. I know finding a job can be a very competitive process, and if I followed her, I'd be moving to a college city that I'm assuming would favor its own graduates to most outside universities'. Would it be feasible for me to plan on getting a decent job in engineering out there?

note: I should be receiving my bachelor's degree from Texas Tech University after spring 2009, and I currently have about a 3.5

    be leave it or not you might have an easier time. what i have heard from a career consular is that many employers look for diversity to bring to the work play. think of something that you can bring from your Texas back round that would make you more of an asset to a future employer. really its alot less about where you went to school then you think, headhunters make up there mind about you with in the first 10 seconds of meeting you. so dress as nice as you can (button shirt, tie, jacket, ect.) and walk in confident don't shuffle your feet. if your too lazy to pick up your feet what does that say about the rest of you?

    hope that helps have a good time in Colorado

    not to mention with a 3.5 you might get a bunch of grad school grants so i would look into that
