I recently received the payout of my college 529, about 30k amount. It's been in a mutual fund with a private investor for about six months. It's the same investor my parents use. I recently got my income report back and I made $12 total. I'm spending way more on the wealth manager. I am wondering if hiring someone else to manage my money is putting it to its best use. I am wondering if I should learn to invest it myself, and if so, how?

I'm 22 years old, no debt, and employed full time as a software engineer.

I know there are other similar inheritance and investing questions on here. For the inheritance questions, my amount is significantly less and for the investing question, I am generally younger than the other. I am wondering what my attitude should be.

Also, my wealth manager doesn't like to discuss my money with me. To some extent, I understand this because finances are not my forte. If anyone could provide sources with their advice so I can have some ammunition in my conversations, I would truly appreciate it.
