tough situation... planning to move to Poland with my girlfriend, student

So I planning to move to Poland with my Polish girlfriend this summer (she is currently there) but there are two problems that keep me from being able to stay there.

1. I have outstanding student loans. They total up to be about 363 dollars a month.

2. I am an American so I can only stay in Poland for 90 days at a time.

My ideas are these:

1. Pay 1500 dollars to get a CELTA certificate and get an English teaching job that has free accomodation. This would also solve my 90 days problem as the school could get me a work visa.

or

2. Use the 1500 to pay off my loans for a four months get a domestic partnership (marriage) and hopefully find something that can pay me well enough to support my loans and living expenses. Course it'll help that I can split expenses with my girlfriend.

Does anyone else have any other ideas?

Not move to Poland until you're all paid off, or move to the UK where you can both work and make enough to pay off your bills. You may find it difficult to find a good paying job in PL. My GF wouldn't want me to move there for that reason. Not much for either of us.

I have a question:

how much of the outstanding loan do you have? I don't need to know). I am asking beause you can be paying it off after getting the CELTA certificate (job and working visa guaranteed) and will also prepare you to give some extra tutoring lessons which could go towards paying off your student loan while in Poland. It's better to go abrad having a job waiting for you, if that's your case. It will also give you alittle more independance form your girlfriend in regards to finances.
