My FI and I will both be graduating in May of 2013. I'm graduating with my BSN and he with a degree in Construction Management. We live in Michigan where its really hard to find a job, but we are not opposed to moving. He did an internship with a company last summer, that he will probably go back to this summer. I'm really hoping they will offer him a job for post-grad. Even though healthcare is supposed to have all these jobs, I'm hearing of many new grads who aren't finding jobs right away as new nurses.
Right now our wedding is set for september 28th, 2013, which would give us a solid 5 months to get jobs and save money. I'm not starting to question if this is really enough time. My dad brought up that health insurance wont kick in until 90 days after you start a job, which means we really need to have jobs within 2 months of graduating unless we want to pay an arm and a leg for insurance.
I was thinking about maybe pushing it back to november, but honestly that makes me cringe for multipule reasons. One, it moves the wedding date even farther aways than it already is, which just sounds horrible. Our parents do not approve of us living together before the wedding, so its not like we can just share an apartment until then. Its already a lifetime aways =/. Second of all, this is Michigan, and November sometimes means snow, if not freezing temperatures. I can probably kiss any outdoor pictures goodbye.And lastly, is 2 months really going to make a difference in our financial stability? Ahh, too many options!!!!
