I'm living at home, in Austin TX, with my mother and am not happy with my current situation. I've known my girlfriend for about 5 years, but we didn't start dating until recently. I love her and I'm thinking she may be the One. Should I head out to LA and see if this thing has a shot of working or wait for her to graduate,in May, and then find a city we both can relocate to? I heard LA is expensive and I'm not sure what the job market is like out there. thanks

I know that it's expensive to live in Austin, but it's much more magnified in CA. If she's only been your gf for 5 months, you'd be rushing it. You want to make it on your own first, I'm assuming, so you won't have to crawl back home to you parents. Get yourself a good job, save money and in several months you can begin looking for a place of your own. Live on your own for a while to make sure you can support yourself, continue saving the money. May will come around in no time. You don't want to embarass yourself in front of your gf by finding that you can't make it on your own, so, patience. Once you've bagged your job and lived on your own, when she's graduated and she's wanting to relocate or something with you, then you can go for it. Please don't rush into something like this. Best of luck to you.

I think it all depends on what career path you plan on going to. You should move to an area that has the most options for your career field. If you and your gf's career paths are related then you should both look at the options of moving there once she graduates and you could move to LA to get a temp job until you both have your lives planed out. If you move to LA you may not get the job you want, but I am sure there are several jobs you can temp work in. Best of luck to you and whatever you choose to do. I am a recent college grad too and I understand what you are going through,

It's great that you are trying to get some input on the situation but I can tell you exactly what is going to happen. You will move out here and not wait. You will have to get a job outside of your degree to just get by. Hopefully you and her have excellent credit because a house will be out of the question if not. You'll get an apt. together and then struggle...probably move back to TX within 2 years...but hey...you'll have each other!

Your putting a lot of faith in what you think and feel and you don't really know if she wants you or not. That is a long way to move on just false hope, you better ask her before you give up on Austin.
