Funny that no one yet here suggested you invest in yourself, if you're confident enough in your own inherent abilities.
If you've already got a decent job and are willing to take on some degree of risk with that new found money, why not look at possibly starting your own business? I've owned 5 of them over my 69 years, and despite a small handful of decisions that didn't pan out over the years, overall I've done incredibly well. My last business has just about run it's course, but I've immediately found two new ventures I'm beginning with a partner of mine that combined will only cost me less than $30K to start up, even though I was honestly quite ready to retire.
My advice to you might sound a bit cryptic, but there are a multitude of opportunities out there for an entrepreneur who can find a product or service they can provide to a business that would actually be mostly funded by government incentives, allowing you to offer a needed product or service to a business customer for nothing or next to nothing, while you're being paid handsomely by a third party like the government or your local utilities. Build your own solid reputation with your customers that will last you a lifetime in many cases.
If you're willing to give it some serious consideration, feel free to PM me, and I'll be happy to give you some direction if you want it.
One sentiment I've found to be true is this:
"Enjoy the job you choose to do and you'll never work a day in your life".
