In reality, I am just looking for any way to justify picking UCLA over Cal, since it is where I would really like to be (weather, surrounding area, atmosphere, girls…).

Sounds like good enough reasons to me. Go where you will be happiest. If you are miserable in college your grades will suffer.



It seems to me that it would make sense to base a college decision upon employment statistics, since I’m going to college to be employable.



Employers don’t hire colleges, they hire People. So if you work hard, get good grades, have a good personality and make a good impression in a job interview, you will get the job. Most job recruitment is local, so SoCal. companies will recruit at UCLA whereas NorCal recruits at Berkeley. But a good candidate from Cal State Long Beach could ace either one of them out for a job.
