The job sounds like enough of a reason to stay in the area. It is true that good jobs are scarce now and if you have something that does actually relate to what you are studying, that is something of value. The fact is that no degree will guarantee a job later on. You could end up staying at this job and then moving up after a while. Even if you end up getting a job someplace else later on, the experience at this job will be a big help later on.

You will probably be better off all around living at home if it is possible and because of the close by schools, that is the fact. You can study and live at home. You might be craving the freedom of living away from home but honestly that is something that you will get to eventually, so don’t rush.

My advice would be to keep the job and stay at home, study close by. You will be able to save money and eventually get a car. You will also be able to stay in the same area as your friends. Having good friends is something of value and that is admirable that it is a consideration for you. Eventually you may decide that you want to get an apartment with friends. If you have stayed at home long enough to get a car and have kept the job, you will be able to do this.
