Is going into debt worth it?

I’m down to my top two school choices and I LOVE them both! One, Auburn University I’ll probably pay around $30,000 a year. The other, Florida International University, I will get a full ride. I love them both, but I don’t know if I should let the money be the tie breaker. At Auburn I would be able to get a double major, which would be so much better for my career. I will be able to afford to go to Auburn, but I’m not sure if I WANT to pay a crazy price when I could be paying nothing. So, is going into debt for college really worth it?

SN: Incase my future salary is a factor in you giving me advice…
I want to be an animal trainer, so I won’t make much money initially. But I also know people at big places like SeaWorld and if you get a job like that, your salary is at least 6 digits.

Thanks so much!
