I don't think I would recommend going to Hofstra if you planned on working in California. I am not even sure it is wise to go to a place like, say, Indiana Bloomington without keeping in mind that a significant majority end up in either Indiana or elsewhere in the Midwest.
I can tell you that McGeorge has been a pretty good experience so far. I'm in the FT division, but I have a couple of friends in the PT division who loved it. There are plenty of people who get jobs outside of Sacramento, but it is primarily the Bay Area, central California, LA and Las Vegas; I think 90% of the graduates remain in CA. I really like Northern California, so I'm pretty happy to have job opportunities in the region. I knew I would prefer living out West, so the decision was not too difficult.
On the other hand, if you really think Hofstra would be a better fit and McGeorge would not be a good fit, you might want to go to Hofstra. But the difference between the two (as far as reputation) is very small.
