I'm on my mom's health insurance for another year and a half so I'll only be uninsured, for give or take three months.

That's a positive spin on it, I'm just really restless to get my life started, and I don't want that to be my deciding factor.

I get it, and it’s tough when you’re on one side of the bridge looking at your options like “I don’t want to mess up! This is the rest of my life!”

But in all reality there are dozens of decisions you can make, and regardless of what you choose, you can always make a different choice if one doesn’t turn out for you. Hell - you can quit your current path, move to Brazil and sell nuts on the freeway, but that’s not a very fun path to pursue compared to the other two you listed 😂

My $0.02 - taking on debt for a bigger paycheck isn’t a terrible idea, just make it the shortest you can make it. You’ll be able to defer loan payments while in school, and afterwards you’ll get paid more which means you can pay down that debt faster. HTH
