<prompt> Human: Im a 27 year old female, I current live in Virginia and work in retail management. Heres some details about my financial situation:Debt:109k total student loan debt, all government loans3-5k credit card debt, can pay off at any time Current income:49.3kSavings: 2500 cash, 30k in 401k, 5k in stocks Im one semester away from graduating with an MBA, and I have about 4-5 years of professional work experience. I dont have a car payment, and I pay my rent one year in advance so my monthly debts are really low. All I really have hanging over my head are my horrible student loans from undergrad and grad school. They are technically deferred until 2021, but Ive been making 1000month payments on them. The job offers:1. Location: SeattlePay: 50kOpportunities to advance: Very very high, I would be on track to be making over 100k within the next 5-7 years with several advancements and salary increases in between. Pros: its with my current company and its in a field Ive been wanting to go in to. Steady office environment, no more retail, weekends off, low stress, good advancement opportunities, great training for specific field. Cons: high cost of living, it would be hard to pay off my student loans quickly, the initial pay for the role I would be hired in to isnt much higher than what I currently make. 2. Location: Kansas City Pay: 57k plus 5-7 bonuses annually Opportunities to advance: unknown, probably not for at least 2 years Pros: better initial pay, I would also have a free place to live, so almost all my income would go towards my student loans. Cons: stuck in retail hell, doesnt really add to my resume besides the fact that I would be managing more revenue per year than I was previously. Im torn because the job in Seattle is the one I really want to choose, but I dont think its a smart financial decision. Im not sure if its an opportunity I could return to later on. It seems better to take the job in Kansas City and really crack down on my loans, I could have them paid off in the next 4 years of so. Any advice?  <response>: I lived in KC for 3 years and I loved living there. 7k isnt a lot more but when you factor in cost of living between Seattle and KC plus free housing it makes a huge difference. Your income is likely going to keep going up rapidly no matter which option you choose. I dont think there is a wrong answer here but Id go to KC.
