is moving to a new city while in student debt dumb?

I really don’t like the city I was raised in. I (23) need advice. My parents don’t help me with anything financially anymore, really since I was first year university. They have the money to buy just care about their own retirement (whole other issue).
I was on contract and decided to leave my student house with my friends to move back home since I am around 30k in student debt. I am so sad about moving back home. My uni was 5 hours away and I loved that city dearly and my friends there. I just graduated with a psychology degree and I have about a years work experience doing admin at a law firm. I have been home since May and absolutely hate it here. I feel bad cause my parents want me to like it and I am closer to my boyfriend, but I hate it and feel like I am back in high school. Is it a bad idea to move out again, even tho I just moved back and try to find a place around 1k a month for me and my cat? Or do I try to rough it here for a bit and save? My work offered me to get off contract but I only make around 44k and have been mass applying in other cities too. I want to have a bright future and travel and maybe move abroad one day, but I need to get out of debt so I can start my life, but being here is so draining😑

Need money advice postgrad in debt :)

I just graduated university and have around 30k in student debt. I have a job right now that pays around 44k a year and I recently decided to move home so I could try to pay off my debt faster. I am feeling very trapped especially since i did live out of the house for 5 years and now I am back and that stings. I have a forensic psychology degree, experience in employment counseling and this past year i have worked doing admin for a law firm getting by debt from 44k - 30k. What is the fastest way for me to get out of debt, i think my company will only give me a 2k raise and that is just not sustainable. I only worked this job because the market was bad and i thought it would look good on a resume. What are some career paths i could apply for to get out of debt within the year. I really want to be financially free and able to move out again.
