A college town, Boston is an obvious choice for recent college grads looking to launch their careers. From Quincy Market to the North End, the city is warm and inviting—unless you're a Yankees fan. The Red Sox rule the roost here, and so can you if you play your cards right. AfterCollege.com reports that business/finance, sales, and management jobs in Boston abound on its site. Although the city is still paying for the Big Dig, the most expensive—and perhaps most controversial—highway project in U.S. history, it is headquarters to Liberty Mutual Insurance Group and Sovereign Bancorp (SOV_PB), among other companies.
