<human>: So at the beginning of this year, I was fresh out of college and stressed out looking for a job. I didn't know what to really do because I hadn't even had an internship. Well a few months later, my aunt tells me she knows someone who is taking applications, and I end up getting a paid internship in Illinois. 

Now, I have always wanted to move to Chicago, and now, they're telling me my internship ends in January. They have no plans on hiring anyone because they want an analyst/developer (good luck), and I am still pretty entry level on the analyst part. 

While I have been in Illinois, I have gone to Chicago pretty much every other weekend because its pretty cheap and easy to do. I ended up getting a girlfriend in Chicago and we've been together for about 6 months. I have been looking for jobs in Chicago for 6 months from Springfield, IL with no luck. These last 3 months, I have really been busting my ass looking and calling. 

My girlfriend has suggested that I just live with her for a few months, see how i like it, and split rent with her roommate (so it'd be like $300/mo which is a steal). Now, I still don't have a job up there, but I have saved up around $4000 in my 6 months from living with my aunt.

So reddit, my question is: Should I go up there and see if I can make it  and get job(in let's say 3 months), or should I play it safe and go back to my parents house in TN?

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
<bot>: I'm torn because no job is guaranteed in Tennessee either, but financially I would spend less. However, Chicago rules, has my gf, low rent, but no job prospects atm.
