I have a question regarding finding a job in the U.S,

I am Canadian and I currently live in Canada (Ontario to be exact), I work as a developer and I get over 40k salary plus benefits, I also have about 3 years experience and a 3 year College Advanced Diploma from a community college.

The thing is my girlfriend of 5 years is American and we are working on settling down by the end of this year when she graduates from university, my only problem is she told me that if we decide to live there I would have a hard time finding a job in IT because of my educational background, according to her unless you have a B.S chances are I will never see a 40k salary there, while here in Canada I started with 40k on my first job which I did not have a hard time finding at all, but she insists that over there people who have a community college background don't even get looked at what so ever, so now I'm left with 3 options, either move down there and try to do university, stay up here and make her struggle in finding a job in her field, or go down there and take a chances with whatever I have.

I guess my main question is can anyone shed some light on the educational and experience needs there? Perhaps some advice from folks that are already working in the industry.

Thank you.
