Internship vs. FT offer
I'm finishing up my last semester @ university in the spring. Major - Stats, minor - CS. ive got two job offers on the table . . . the first is FT teaching intro stats and python at a coding bootcamp (I've been working there part-time ~6 months); TC ~90k. The other offer is a FT data-focused software engineering internship, with a local software company that makes financial reporting software. TC ~ 60k, with potential to convert to FT after 3-4 months. Should i take the internship, which gets me closer to a FT engineering/data science role potentially sooner, or do I take the position with higher TC? Im looking to start my career off on the right foot.

I would take internship but it totally depends on what you really like. Do you like teaching? Or do you want to work in a corporate?
Teaching is OK. Not how I want to spend my career, nor do I think long-term earning potential is as strong. I feel illegitimate as a teacher without any real world experience also.
