College Student with 1000 dollars, what the hell should I do with it ?


Okay, I know there is alot of good financial advice on the internet but I also know there is alot of bad stuff too. So that's why I'm making this post. So sorry if it's popped up 100 times before.

Basically I'm currently a cybersecurity student in college. I have 2 more years to go, and through scholarship and a 20ish hour job at the dorms I have tuition, housing, and food covered. Basically I'm not losing money, not making it. But at least I'm not in debt compared to my peers.

I have about 1000 dollars in savings, and I'm looking to begin leaning how to slowly invest in slow and safe ways. Does anyone have any good references to look at for decent investing advice / places I could start throwing tiny bits of cash at to start learning without risk of doing anything stupid and somehow taking on debt (idk being on reddit I've been very much scared bc of all those “I made a short (idk what that is) and now my house is gone posts)”.

Basically I want to learn but atm the whole thing looks terrifying, hard to navigate and a bit scammy atm. Like at this point I'm fine with a 5 % yearly return. Or should I aim for more ?
