<human>: Provide a brief overview of the text.

Prefacing this a bit, I'm 25 years old. Some college, but didn't finish.

I had found myself a position covering basically the tech-work of a real estate company at 19, and have put in a considerable amount of time in working here and getting my act together as my first year of college was a mess. Racked up debt, and this job paid very well, and was very comfortable because I was allowed to work from home. Only had to go to the office if they had an issue with something computer related, or I felt like it.

I primarily got involved with data entry and Excel, as we had primarily focused on foreclosure properties. Setting up schedules for live auctions, also people to go out and survey properties was something uncommon for me to do, as well as manage accounts with very high value between investors and us. I also entered proxy bids for online sales, and managed title information, all in my PJs or comfort clothes for a majority of my day.

I've paid off my debts, feel like I've gotten myself on the rails now correctly, and then I get hit with a complete panic at work. We've lost a major investor, and the people at the top had overextended us riding a gamble that this investor would reinvest for another year. I've been informed this is my final week.

I'm stunned here. I've just gotten out of a rotten relationship of 5 years, and recently expressed an interest in going back to school, and now find myself in a pickle as Summer Semester courses are about to start. My parents have been extremely helpful in allowing me to rent our guesthouse, and I want to study Network Security at a community college. I feel financially I might be okay if I use what I've saved + financial aid/loans... but I don't know if I can balance work and school like I tried my first time, and I'm not sure I can find something for the pay I was getting at my old job.

I'm sorry for using an obvious throw away and if I am rambling. I've been a complete mess since the news of my job and don't want to sit and sulk about it with school so close. I'm 42 credits into an AS degree for Network Security.
<bot>: hunker down, finish school, and live off my savings/loans or find another job for potentially less than what I was making, and balance school around it?
