Ee-yep, things are a bit tough in the IT industry at the moment. That does not inspire much hope in me since my major is MIS, and I'm graduating in another year. Hopefully, things will begin picking up before this year is out.
My advice depends on the current state of your finances. If you have a reasonable amount saved to live on, you can take your time in finding a job in your field or near-enough your field that you can switch over quickly. If you're finances are strained, take the best job that you can get. As has been said earlier, you're young enough that you have the luxury of a short lull between leaving school and getting work in your field of expertise. But if you can wait and see if something comes along that is in your field, do that. You'll enjoy the job much better and life with a bit brighter.
As a side note that seems to be irrelevant now, there's not much harm in working for the same company as your girlfriend as long as y'all are in separate offices or departments. It's only having to work together or work for her or her work under you that tension can build up.
Good luck with the job hunt, Tahna Los.
