Life advice? Career advice please?
Okay.. let me give you a basic summary of things.. I am 20 years old. I have financial responsibilities.. bills include.. rent.. pge.. cable.. insurance.. you know all of that.. Ive had a good job and have been making about 2700/mo..I also have savings of about 30k..my problem is I just found out our company has been taken over and I am getting laid off. I have about 2months left here max.. I need advice on what I should do.. I basically have two options.. find another job.. ive found another job that im pretty sure Ill get since i have the skills for it but its about a 45min drive from where i live.. Id probably be making about the same pay..or a second option would be going back to school... my education basically stopped at highschool.. i graduated and took a few college cles at my city community college but later dropped them so I would really be starting from scratch trying to get my AA... I just dont know what to do... a part of me wants to just go and get that other job but Im just afraid of being laid off again at a later point in time and me being in a worst situation..like if i had kids, etc. it would be much more difficult.. and that makes me think maybe i should go back to school now while i dont have children to be able to have kids and have a more stable career... I have the savings to be able to go to school and still be able to pay my bills but i just dont know if its worth it.. i mean i really have no clue as to what i want to be or what carreer to pursue and will getting my AA really help me get a better job with better pay than what i can get now.. I just dont want to spend all my savings and then finish school and be making the same thing im making now.. then it wouldnt seem worth it. I work in banking so basic jobs are 9-5 so school and working that job wouldnt work especially if my jobs in a different city, I just know it would be too much. If i do decide to go back to school I would probably get a part time job too. But wont be making anything like what i make now.. my monthly bills/ expenses total about 1600/mo. I just need some advice as to which path i should take.. I still have sometime to decide what to do...registration opens in about a month and im losing this jobs in about 2months.. so I dont have a huge period of time..but time.. so what do you think? advice? opinions? thanks
