So basically I've been working the same job for about 3-4 years.. Its not terrible money for a dead end job (15 bucks an hour plus benefits), however my job is extremely fuckin boring.. I've been saving up for about 6 months and have managed to stack over 5 grand in the bank.. Now I am seriously contemplating either going back to school for something or travelling.. what would you niggas do? Im contemplating also keeping the job a bit longer and satcking some more bread, but I just dont know if i can do it.. im lost

GO. TO. SCHOOL.

Community College for that cheap first 2 years, then transfer. You'll have plenty of time to travel when you're working a nice job with vacation days. Just don't let go of that job. 5k isn't much to live on for a long time, and that's a pretty well paying job at your level. You should always be looking to improve though, so I say look into school regardless.

Also, info on job, I'm on a hunt myself at the moment and that's a nice hourly rate.

keep the job, apply for better ones while working, right now is the absolute worst time to leave a job. 5k is a good amount but isn't enough to sustain, especially with traveling and expensive clothing habits... school part time, if your job is that boring, then you'll have plenty of opportunity to do schoolwork while on the job.. leaving the job would be a bad idea all in all.. furthermore, look into certification or licensing classes, a lot of 4 year grads are underemployed or unemployed due to lack of experience or specialization. You have a better chance at a career if you're specialized i.e. trade school, certificates, etc.

keep working, idk what your job is but 15 an hour is pretty nice, even if it is boring. while working, investigate unis/trade schools, apply, see what your options are, then make a decision. id say wait on the traveling, if you go to a university you could do study abroad or some shit.
