If she moved to a lower COL area then she must accept a pay cut.

OP, I don't have any advice for you, but someone posted this on a similar thread, it's a TED talk (Is 30 Really the New 20?) it contains advice for people in their 20s.

She's only 28. She should ditch the car, bike to work, use the car $ to more aggressively pay off her loans, and get a part time job.
Nothing at all wrong with being 28 and making $35k. Families live on less. She needs to realize she's not entitled to more just because she has a marketing degree. She needs to build up her experience and her own marketability. And get out of debt!

Depending on the degree she has, she can look at other jobs within finance. She's 28. She needs to figure things out for herself.
Maybe she needs to move to a different place where jobs are more plentiful. If it will work for you, perhaps you can cover her plane ticket and one or two months rent in a new city? Make sure you are clear that it's not going to be forever. That's enough for her to get a fresh start.
There's a huge difference between being unhappy and depressed.
she has a marketing degree. She has expressed interest in relocating, but she really loves her current city, so she's torn.

Her expenses would be more here. Her student loans take up almost half of her income. As well as car expenses.

Why are you saying it's too expensive for her to stay with you? Would you make her pay rent?

that's a good read. And I do think she's unhappy because of social media exposure and also because she has a degree and is making about $35k
