It Feels Like I'm Missing the Boat

I'm 24 years old and I'd like to get started in REI, but I can't find a job that pays a livable wage. So instead, I decided to go back to school to earn a BSBA in Accounting and IT (double major).

I just checked my credit score today and it's 814. I have the credit, but don't have the money and it feels like I'm missing out.

I utilized AP exams to test out of 60 credits towards the degree. I avoided $15k in tuition by doing it this way. I should be able to graduate in 2.5 years with $10-15k in student loan debt. However, I'm kind of afraid that inflation is going to set in soon and I'm going to miss a once in a lifetime opportunity in real estate.

It's too bad you can't make a livable wage out of high school anymore.
