<prompt> Human: Currently Im working two jobs; one at Quiktrip and one at Bestbuy. I usually work around 40-50 hours a week on average so Im making a decent amount of money. With these hours, though, I cannot go to school and get a degree in a short amount of time. I have been going to a community college for the past year just taking one or two classes a semester but dont know if maybe quitting one job to focus on school would be the best option. The other question I have is what should I be focusing my money on that Im making on the side for now? Ive thought about investing it into either currency, stocks, or mututal funds but Im not exactly sure what the best choice for my situation would be. Any help would be appreciated!Edit: Also, to clarify, I live out home at the moment and do not pay any bills other than car insurance and my cell phone.  <response>: You are very young. You do not have people who are dependent on your income. Your expenses are very low due to living at home. If your further education will provide you with bigger chances of a better-paying job that is more interesting and fun, I would say: go for it. Now seems like the best time possible. I would keep at least 5k of your money in a savings account for emergencies and education expenses. You could find out whether you can put some money towards your retirement, maybe there is matching on a 401k with one of the companies you work for? yes, terrible to think about that already. I would not invest money until reading up on it, a lot. Investing is risky, so ou really need to know what you are doing. Even then the risks dont goaway, but at least you then know the risks you are taking and can decide how much risk you can handle.
