If it were me, I would pick one career to prioritize (whichever one will pay more or harder to find a job).

Check indeed.com.

Get a job offer.

Search for real estate within 30-60 min commute (during rush hour) of that job location.

Go back to the potential employer and use the cost of real estate as a way to negotiate higher pay.

Best of luck to you. With your job skills, the two of you, and in this job market, I think you will do well.

So many colleges.
