What do you suggest I do?

Here's my story, so I happen to be on of those naive millennials who continuously took out student loans without even considering the burden it would cost to repay them upon graduation. I've amassed about $91k in student loans and I've managed to land a job that pays around $95k gross (about $60k net). Like most college students that enter the working world, I've now realized that I do not want to continue in my current job for the next 5-10 years and beyond. I'm not too fund of W-2 jobs and want start investing, do you suggest I get second job to pay off my loans or, look into BRRRR investing or short term rentals as a source of side hustle for additional income that could subsequently lead to amassing good source of passive income and wealth (after garnering relevant knowledge on how to do this of course). I welcome any constructive criticism, and yes I'm an idiot for taking out so much student loans. Thank you!
