Education is one of the few things that can *never* be taken from you.
Like experience......it's certainly another *credential*.
I would certainly spend part of the money on *developing* myself.
If that means a degree or several, so be it.
Of course, there are other kinds of training that don't involve traditional university degrees.
Have you thought about what your *dream job* would be? What do you see yourself doing for some of the rest of your life? A degree may be a requirement in terms of your future plans....or not.
But definitely, leave. Things turn around, but it often takes a decade, and you're still young enough to consider moving forward.
