Help me decide which job to choose, 25M

For context I’m in my mid 20’s. Six years experience in supply chain and four in procurement.

Company A: Fully onsite
Role: Buyer/Planner
$70k-$75k salary
Cons: Onsite, 35 min drive 1 way, less pay.
Pros: Easier to get promoted/noticed when in person. Less lay off risk/more stable.
NOTE: Huge company, OEM, name looks great on resume. Job title is great also, upward move in my resume.

Company B: Fully remote
Role: Procurement Specialist
$75k-$90k
Cons: Not easy to get promoted/noticed while remote.
(I’m currently fully remote and getting laid off because the company wants people onsite, I don’t want a repeat)
Pros: more pay, flex able schedule, fully remote no driving.
NOTE: Great company, but the name has little to no recognition (unless you’re in the same field). Job title is really good but not great either.

Should I go for the fully onsite lower pay, or easy peasy remote more money.

Potential schooling I would do is:
Bachelors (WGU, online school)
A&P license
(In this order)

Company B would be nice for online school, I can still make Company A work tho.
A&P license school is up north near where Company A is.
Company A also offers tuition assistance up to $5k a year.

Would a degree make sense or would I be too centralized/stuck

For context I’m in my mid 20’s. Specifically talking about the B.S. Supply Chain Operations & Management, at WGU. Would getting this degree help me? Should I focus on getting more work experience? Would I be stuck into path if I get this degree?
