I could use this experience to be a financial analyst. Not planning to move out anytime soon since I wanna be financially stabled first >_> this is before taxes btw I don't know your field well, especially entry level positions I think it's probably okay after graduating from BA in your field, but not enough to live on your own comfortably, unless you like room/housemates. Check salary.com for median pay in your area for this kind of job. Whatever you do, definitely don't settle for this job. Look so see if there is growth in the company, but check how much they pay you too. Check salary.com and Glassdoor.com. I graduated with a useless degree and worked around a bit. Did data entry for 2 years that only paid 12-13.00 an hr, but luckily got into studying biotech fulltime (got a certificate from a CC) and went there after and increased pay quite a bit over the past 6 years and getting near 6 figures now. I'd take advantage of staying with your parents and paying off your debts for now. --- Less is more.
