Should I let my real estate goals influence my job search?

[Alex Gunya]

Hi BP,

I am graduating from university at the end of this month and am interviewing for jobs all over the country. My current goal is to generate enough cashflow through MFP to be able to "retire" by the time I am 30, and am looking for a job purely so I can fund deals. General consensus seems to be that especially when starting out you should invest where you know/local to where you live, so my question is: How much should I let my interest in REI influence where I am looking for jobs? Thanks.
