Here's telling you straight. You won't get a flying job any time soon. One in your class did, so good luck to her. When you eventually do get an entry flying job it won't pay much, and paying off the training loan will eat into whatever income you make.

Your here and now option is this. Learn a trade. For example, roof tilers are getting $1000+ per day, and as far as I know you don't need to complete a three year apprenticeship for that. You will never earn $1,000/day as a flight instructor in GA. You might find that sort of money with 20+ years experience as a pilot. In the meantime, laying roof tiles and setting ridge caps will earn you good money.
