I just graduated college last week with a degree in IT. I am blessed and fortunate to be able to live my family rent free. It's going to save me a lot of money as well as humble me. However, my family is foreign and their control is getting annoying. Having a girlfriend has to be secret, and they're pretty controlling about when I leave the house. I do what I want anyway, but it's my goal to move out asap. I've been applying for jobs every day since I've graduated, and I'm accepting this is going to be a slow process. I'm hoping to get a job within the next 3-6 months.

I'm applying for IT careers, but have been living in my parents house doing nothing aside from job hunting, reading, and learning more programming. Should I be more grateful and just bite the bullet and live here for a couple years, or should I try to move out and work an hourly job until I get an IT job asap?


Any and all advice is appreciated.
