First, thanks for reading this; it's long. Second, If you've got a question or need more info before giving advice, let me know. I really am in a indecisive state and don't know what to do.
Here's the story: I've just graduated from college with a BA and my boyfriend has graduated with an Associate's degree in network security. He really knows what he wants to do career-wise, I, on the other hand, have a pretty good idea of what I don't want to do, not what I want to do...I'm still trying to figure out what to do with myself. However, he's working a dead-end part time job that he's had all through college and now it's just not cutting it. He's also had serious problems finding a networking job in the area we live in, which by the way, is exactly 5 hours from his parents and 5 hours from mine. So by living here it keeps the peace with the families.
Here's the bad part: We've been living together for two years now, while in school, with some help from my parents, not his. Now, after 3 months of living completely on our own, working temp jobs to barely pay the bills, we're really starting to have financial trouble because I can't make up my mind on what type of job I really want to commit to and his part time job doesn't cut it. And neither of us seem to find the jobs we truey want.....
So, my parents have offered 3 free months of living with them to allow us time to find jobs and to find a place to live. Do I take the offer, move even farther from his wonderful family and our friends here? Where my parents live, there seems to be lots of jobs and expansion. Surely we could find work and we'd have three months to, yet we couldn't do it in three months here.
I'm really confused about this whole thing and really need some outsiders oppinions. My friends are telling me to stay here and suck it up and take what ever I can get. But that feels wrong after I've put so much work into school and I know I can do better than, " do you want fries with that...."
Please, any help will be great.

P.S. Oh yeah, I really really love him and want to marry him and don't want to leave him.
