Absolutely. Finishing school / learning new marketable skills / paying off debt are guaranteed returns on your investment. Investing is not guaranteed.

You should be funding your IRA as early as you possibly can. Investing is going to return something, college might not. More and more people don't think college was worth the expense.

The company I work for automatically sets you up with a 401k and company stock. I don't know how it works, though.

TC, don't invest until you do some reading and research. <_< Pay off debt first.
