I am a recent college graduate, with a physics/math degree. I (very surprisingly) got a graduation gift of $10,000 from a family member. Where this is an amazing gift, I am at a bit of loss on how/where to let my money grow.
I have a few thousand saved up, ~60k in student loans, 7k in car loan, and still pay rent/groceries/utilities throughout the year. While I am "in the hunt" for a job in my field, I am thinking about getting a local job at a restaurant to just meet my bare needs, until I get a career in my field.
I was thinking of putting the money in a CD account, and shopping around different banks and look into time limits and rates. It is possible I can use a bit of that cash and invest, though I would be entering the stock market with almost no knowledge. Any tips or ideas would be fantastic. Thank you to all who read!
