Location of Relative clauses

Relative clauses must be located right behind nouns or " Students are studying hard who want good jobs" is correct?
  

Top answer

It's wrong. The antecedent should be as close to the relative as possible: Students who/that want good jobs are studying hard. You might consider study hard depending on the context.
