60K isn't going to make you rich, but unless you acquire a lot of bad habits, its more than enough for a single 19 year old to live off. If you're really worried, you can always find room mates on craigslist.

If this is the industry you want to be in, you're best bet is to make the move out here. The job is reasonable, and even if it doesn't work out there are a hell of a lot more opportunities.
