Over the past six years working in the entertainment industry I have amassed approximately 70k of net worth and after liquidating all of my assets to thru hike the Appalachian Trail last year, all of that money is sitting in a high-yield savings account. I have no debt and a small economically friendly car that's been paid off. I am currently renting a room for $500 per month, but wish to move to a one bedroom apartment in the near future.
I am planning on attending college (to earn a wildlife sciences degree, something I'm passionate about and feels necessary for the career shift I'm seeking) in the fall online for approximately 15k per year, and have landed a part-time job earning $12 an hour approximately 30 hours per week. Im considering working for Postmates or Uber to make ends meet, but that will be an unreliable source of income.
I'm nervous to invest anything too dramatically with the current state of the world and fluctuating stock and housing markets. What's the best way for me to finance my way through four years of online school with my available funds and part-time job?
Thanks in advance!
