You need to balance what's good for you with your conscience. You decide how much conscience you have :-)
My personal recommendation: Apply and find a job. Don't tell them you want to leave soon to move somewhere else, because nobody will hire you. Do your best to do a good job, save as much money as you can, and move away when you can say with good conscience that the company got what it paid for (which is obviously not the case after two or three months). If you say you can save $5,000 in three months, then you can save some significant amount in one year, which will give you a much much better start elsewhere.

I'm a semi-recent college grad (~9 months out of college). I want to move from my minor city to New York City but I want to save 4 to 5k before I do that. Therefore, I have to get a job but I'll probably be able to save 5k in six months.
How do I handle this? Should I job search like normal? Look for six month positions? Should I stay a year just to try to be nice to whichever company hires me?
To add to the complications, I recently left my old job for Colombia thinking English teaching was what I wanted to do, then came back realizing I couldn't really hack it in Colombia.
Luckily I've been getting interview offers left and right but I'm not sure what to say in them, especially when they ask me why I want to work.
I'm an English major with a series 6 and 63 license and 7 months insurance sales experience if that matters at all.
