OP, Get your degree! Think about staying in SD and teaching flying & ground while you attend a local city college. You can transfer to a 4 year university to complete your degree. Your education doesn't need to break the bank or cause you great debt. Start talking to city/community college counselors. Also ask them about Special Majors (like A&P school at a city college combined with a couple years at a university) Mention your financial hardship. There are also programs that are paying folks to go to school. Based on what you have disclosed, the number one thing you need to do is explore your education options!!! Be a good teacher and be a good student!

I didn't bother to read all the replies, so pardon me if I say some of the same things.
The East coast sucks, you will hate it. Stay in SD and look for an LAX base. Drive to work. Commuting there, I don't know- probably lots of flights and probably lots of competition for the Jumpseat.
You cannot commute to a 2 hour call out. Crash pad is a must while on reserve.
I moved for a regional, and regret it to a degree. But the TX airlines are hurting and/or suck (I would never fly for 20/hr at Mesa with crap work rules).
Look at Thomas Edison Univ for a BS In aviation unless you want a "real" degree to fall back on. Then do that.
You are young. Enjoy life, and realize there is more to it than work. You'll have a great career whatever route you go. Enjoy and good luck.
