Thank you all for the re-encouragement, not having clear job prospects is a very scary situation and not something I would wish upon my worst enemy. Glad that's over...
I guess the key really is to just keep your chin up and keep plugging away at job applications. You never know when something might pan out.
My dad gave me a funny but true piece of advice about this whole dilemma. He told me to add every rejection to a list and to number them. He then said I only had the right to be discouraged once I reached 100 rejections on my list. Gonna be pretty hard to hit that number if you are constantly learning from your rejections and your interviews.
Congrats!

Best New Cities for Tech Jobs | Money
edit: I notice a few Florida cities.
Security is pretty hot in Phoenix. PayPal, American Express, McKesson, GoDaddy, Schwab, just to name a few--are all hiring constantly and all have SOCs here. My company is hiring SOC Analysts and you would not believe how poor some of the candidates are...
Salary kinda all over but at least one company is paying analysts as follows. L1 = 75-95k, L2 = 95-120k, L3 = 120-145k. Throw in a 15% annual bonus and you're doing pretty well down here.
