Belinda and Carl have been dating for two years and want to stay together after high school. Belinda has been accepted at the community college to work towards her nursing degree. She has already taken two of the science courses required for the degree in a special program in the high school.  
Carl wants to get a job right away, preferably as an audio technician at a radio or television station. He doesn’t have any work experience but has worked with audio equipment all his life. The Music Director of the school always relies on Carl to help him with the audio for the school concerts.  
The problem is that there are limits on the number of jobs that Carl can apply for in his town. He is probably going to have to move to where he can get his first job. This is a huge step for Carl because he has had a number of supports in school, including regular Resource Room assistance. Now that he is in his senior year he has been able to get his schoolwork completed without as much help, but it’s been a struggle. His parents are very supportive of him living on his own, but they don’t want him too far away.  
Belinda does not want to change her plans, especially because she already has credits at the community college. She needs to live at home to save money, but eventually plans on getting an apartment with Carl.  
They don’t know what to do. What if Carl has to move away? Should Belinda try to find a college nearby? Is getting an apartment together a good idea?  
Maybe Carl should work in his town at any job he can find, and wait until Belinda finishes her degree. Then Carl can look for a job as an audio technician in another town.  
They want to be together but they have plans that might keep them apart.  
What should they do?   | Romance
