Yet another marriage Q
I apologize for what is likely a very repetitive question; reading back entries and tagged entires has not answered my specific questions. It may be too late for the following consideration, but ya'll appear to be some of the most helpful help I could ask for and have been so in the past.
I want to marry my British boyfriend this summer and return with him to the UK for one to two years. He is in the fourth and final year of his degree, however, and thus utilizing a "student loan" (or the British version; has to deal with lines of credit and debt I believe) to support his tuition. I will have graduated with my bachelor's already and, though I have been accepted into a graduate school in Newcastle upon Tyne, I plan on persuing my master's elsewhere- starting with online courses while abroad, actually. The bottom line is, I want to marry him and move there to work for a year or two at any paying job enough to cover the bills and survive until he is out of school.
Of course, all the documentation I read about marriage visas seems to strongly suggest that he must be able to support me without governmental assistance. My questions- his student funding counts as governmental assistance, does it not?
What does he really need to prove in order for immigration to allow me to take residence with him in the UK and work?
Where can an American look for employment (however "plebian") in Newcastle? Who should I contact? Would it do any good to search in my eventual career field- roughly, journalism?
We have a very reasonably-priced flat already under his name and that of his best friend and roommate, and myself.
Thank you. As always.

Also, do I really have any hope of finding employment, minimum wage or elsewise, in the UK, as an American? Is there any way I can search prior to venturing over there? I of course have searched the traditional online outlets (monster.co.uk; journalism.co.uk; etc) but virtually all of those jobs are geared towards professions; which I am not, yet.
