Is Vet School Debt manageable? Does Specializing in the long run help?

I know vet school is expensive and the debt is high compared to starting salaries. I currently live in AZ and we will eventually have 2 vet schools, but I have been looking at Florida and Wisconsin. Florida is roughly 115,000 and Wisconsin is roughly $80,000+-$100,000+.

My question, is it better to go to a school that is more affordable and closer to the $100,000 range?
Does it make paying off loans in the future more affordable?

Other question is does specializing help with paying off loans once you finish? I enjoy working with equine/large animals more than I do domestic or small exotics. I like the idea of sports and rehabilitation medicine and also surgery, so in other words double boarded. Is that something that would work or are they to different? I understand it would take a long time, but I like working and being busy.

I apologize if this seems like generic questions or repetitive. I've wanted to be a vet since I was 8 and I love medicine. Unfortunate as of recently my parents have shown distaste in going to vet school and don't want me to go. There pushing me towards the criminal justice field. So i'm trying to get all the answers to make a decision.

I guess also has anyone had trouble with no support from family or friends?

All help appreciated
