This actually I agree with, if you are out of the job market for too long, you become quite unemployable and some people don’t work because they can’t. For example those who come on spouse visas when their husbands are students or have work visas themselves, by the time they apply for Greencards and get to work authorization, it’s quite late.

Eastern, I quite agree with you about the bit about becoming unemployable about being out of the job market for quite a bit. I know a couple of ladies who are having issues finding a job after taking a few years time off to be stay at home mums. Taking an extended time off from work quite affects your future job prospects, especially in certain fields.

However, wouldn’t a better solution to the highlighted portion above be to only get married when one is settled down and financially stable as to avoid complications? Personally, I’ve never understood how people can be comfortable getting married and bringing another person into the equation when they are in a precarious situation themselves, such as when they are still students or have work visas.
