Working for an insurance company, our department might get bought. Which could either be good or bad, depending.

Currently making 33k/yr
Have ~9k in checking + savings
Have ~3k in car loan
41k in student debt
Little to no CC debt (maybe like $200, use it mainly for rewards)
~17k 401k

Currently looking for other jobs but the positive is I live in an area with very low cost of living. But I'm thinking I should just dump the money and pay off my car, put that payment towards student loans while also trying to raise my income. Or should I put some dollarydoos in an IRA or something?

Also, let's say I were to take a new job. Would it be more beneficial to roll over the 401k or take a lump sum minus tax hat and put that back into debt?
