I agree with denim. You should definately get out of your house, but I dont think you should move in with your boyfriend either.
You should find a school that *you* want to go to. Apply there and live on campus or find some roomates off campus. Don't move in with your boyfriend and go to whatever school happens to be nearby. This is your future you are playing with. No one else's.
Even if you do decide to go to San Jose Uni (or a nearby school) - still live on campus or with other roomates.
I've seen several people who move in together at a young age and end up getting married because its easy/convenient. Or have a lot of other problems. What happens when you get in a fight or decide you want to break up with him? Where do you go? Your lease doesn't end for another X months, etc..
Hope these posts help. Best of luck to you!

I disagree with you. There is *always* work out there. It comes down to how badly you want a job and what you are willing to take.
My brother-in-law has a degree in Computer Animation but is working as a server at a restaurant. He claims he can't find anything else. I live 15 minutes away from him and have been offered two jobs this week (both that pay more than his job AND that he would qualify for)--and I haven't even finished my degree (CIS). It wouldn't really be any of my business whether or not he gets a job, but he has to support my sister and their daughter, which makes it my business.
I didn't mean to compare you to him. I was just using him as an example to prove my point that jobs are available to people willing to take them.
