<prompt> Human: Background: 32 years old, 0 debt, 820 Credit Background, 10,000.00 cash saved, credit limit of 10,000 0 balance owed, BS in Communications and AA degree, own my vehicle its reliable yet an older model, 0 kids.I have relatively low monthly expenses each month as I moved in with my parents to finish school.I live in a town of around 100,000 and its difficult to find full-time work relevant to my degree or something Id enjoyIm currently working as a contractor and I make 38 dollars an hour at 26 hours per week and the contract is set to end in 7 weeks. Ive sought out grants to continue the work but its highly possible my employment is ending.I have my own LLC, and debating whether I should go back to school to get my degree in Data Science my girlfriend with a salary of 98kyear supports me in any decision I make, parents are supportive as wellIf she relocates were looking at a 50 reduction in salary. The cost of living in our current city is relatively low but job opportunities are also low.I can work on fleshing out my business, go back to school and get a data science degree or commute to a city 45 minutes away each trip and find better job prospects.Seeking advice on next steps.  <response>: 1 I wouldnt relocate anywhere in the hopes of maybe finding better job prospects, get some job offers and your foot in the door before moving anywhere. Commuting may be necessary for a while until you get settled in something you like. 2 since you have a bachelors and an AA, its a serious question to ask if another degree would be useful. Since youre a contractor and you have your own LLC, I can imagine a masters in business might do some good or maybe even in accounting or tax, get your foot into the CPA or accounting or business world if you like that sort of thing. 3 your financial situation sounds pretty good. Solid cushion, low expenses, no debt and you seem not to make any rash decisions. All good moves. If you ever tie the knot or are thinking about it, my only advice would be to look into retirement assets, 401ks and IRAs go a long way and at 32, its never too early to start saving for retirement. Cheers.
