I wouldn’t take out $100,000 in student loans unless the degree said M.D. next to it. It’s not worth it for a bachelors degree, I promise. Florida has some of the lowest tuition rates in the country.
Regarding living in CA after college. You do you…but you might want to consider a few things There’s a lot to be said about buying power. On an entry-level salary in CA, you’d be lucky to get a 1 bedroom apartment. It doesn’t get much better after several years of experience, especially with 100k in debt. On the other hand, an entry-level salary in FL could get you a 3 bedroom house with a kids playground. There’s a big quality of life difference. And of course, you don’t have large student loan payments either.
