The tropical paradise that is Florida rests in the southeastern part of the United States. Home to Disney World, the Miami Dolphins and a military base or two, Florida has something for anybody who likes hot, sticky summer weather and the mildest of winters. A recent college graduate looking for an entry-level job in one of America's hottest hot spots would do well in Florida.

Some of Florida's biggest and/or best known cities are:

Miami
Tampa
Jacksonville
Tallahassee
Pensacola
Orlando

Students looking for a great place to study are probably aware that Gainesville is where the University of Florida is located. Some of Florida's other colleges and Universities are:

Florida A & M University
Florida State University
Florida Institute of Technology
Florida Gulf Coast University
Florida International University
New College of Florida
Jacksonville University
University of Miami
Bethune-Cookman University

Once a quality school has been selected, choosing an internship will soon follow. Of course, Disney is one of the most popular - and possibly the most fun - places to do an internship or get an entry-level job, but there are many other companies that have much to offer:

Baptist Health South Florida
American Express
Navy Federal Credit Union
PricewaterhouseCoopers
Mayo Clinic

Hurricanes, tornadoes, and tropical storms are a concern in Florida, but snow is a very rare occurrence. College students and recent grads who like waterskiing, deep sea fishing, scuba diving or just hanging out on the beach might want to think about looking at Florida as a place to live for the next four years or more.

One of the smallest states in the U.S., Delaware has just three counties and six income tax brackets. The famous Du Pont chemical company is headquartered in Delaware and is greatly responsible for the state's "economic and industrial development." Some of Delaware's larger metropolitan areas are:

Dover (the capital)
Wilmington (the largest city)

Delaware College of Art and Design

Drexel University
Goldey-Beacom College

Delaware, overall, has a mild climate, but the southern part of the state is warmer than the northern region. The "Diamond State" has pretty beaches to relax on after a long day of working or studying. But what companies, besides Du Pont have Delaware "hubs" where college students can find great internships and recent college graduates can find the entry-level jobs of their dreams?

Hertz
The Morpheus Consulting Group
MetLife
C.H. Robinson Worldwide
Tidemark, Inc.
AstraZeneca

Believe it or not, Delaware is the sixth most densely populated state in the U.S. It's proximity to our nation's capital might be a factor.
