Military Spouse Jobs?

I just got married but we live in different cities. I live in NYC and my spouse works in a small town in Midwest. Who should move? We work at Fortune 100 companies with good jobs.

  • We are immigrant software engineers. My spouse's company has applied for a greencard. We could chose to stay in the small town with a quicker route to the Green Card or live in the big city -earn more, spend more , more things to do , better life?

  • Answer:

    Get the freakin' green card ASAP. It will make a huge difference and provide you with a lot of security. If the economy dips again and you lose your jobs, you at least won't have to worry about being kicked out of the country. Plus it makes a lot of things easier such as travel. If you want to move to the city you always can do so later. But it can be very hard to get the green card later if you pass that up now.

There are a lot of factors at play here. You should firstly decide which is more important to you and your wife - your career, her career, the marriage, the green card or big city life? Sit down and discuss. If both of you are willing to put your marriage on hold for a while, and concentrate on your separate careers till you get the green card, and then both can get a good job in the big city, having some work experience. But if you really want to live together, then discuss it amongst yourselves, who is more willing to give up their career, and then make any decisions, or it could adversely affect your marriage. In any case, one of you will have to compromise.

Go where your heart wants you to be. Don't let the cares of the world burden you- your job,errands,obligations..and the most important one,money. Money won't buy you happiness, it would maybe for a short time. But remember, it is those people in your life that made life worth living, not the money.  I am in a long distance relationship with my three year boyfriend. He is in US, and I'm 20 hours of flight away from there. I would die to see his smile, laugh at his silly jokes, watch sunrise and experience life together. But we can't because we are studying in different universities at different places right now. Hopefully after we are done we can move in and built a life together. cheers :)
