Thank you in advance for any advice!
I am graduating college in less than two months, with a BA in Psychology! I have accepted a teaching job through a nonprofit, and will be placed somewhere in Mississippi or Arkansas. I will teach there for two years. I do not know my exact salary, but it will be between 26 and 28k takehome pay. I plan to save at least 50% of my salary for these next two years. There will not be much to spend my money on, and while my salary is low, so are my living expenses (rent will be less than $300 if I live frugally.)
We have talked about it a lot, and it makes sense for my boyfriend to come with me- we have talked extensively about a future together, and spending two years . He will have graduated with a BA in Classical Studies, and he has no desire to pursue graduate school yet. In other words, while we could both easily live on my salary alone, he wants to try to figure out what kinds of jobs there are for him.
I know y'all have diverse backgrounds and skillsets, so I was hoping y'all could offer ideas for unconventional jobs or how to make ends meet. The areas I will be sent to are likely economically distressed, and since we are only there for two years, he could not finish any skilled trade apprenticeships that are offered in the area.
He is bad with computers, loves working with his hands, and he is a people person!
Thank you again!
