There's some decent information here but the writer is clearly one of those "I'm 27 and know all about the world, free of variables and context" bitter manbabies that are all too common on the internet/Reddit.
In reality, your options and what is best for you partially depend on where you live and your existing skills. If you live in some midwestern rusthole or somewhere else where jobs/prosperity are short, I'd use some of that money to move the fuck away.
I'd hold off on investing at least for a while. It's easy to lose a ballza amount of money if you don't know what you're doing and me or some other douche telling you "do this don't do that but do this as well" is setting you up for failure.
Any type of school recommendations tend to be painted by the person who is giving it. Personally, I'd stay the hell away from big, state schools in general. If it's U of ___ or ___ State then stay away. Usually the conventional wisdom that the better the school the better the job prospects are gaining diminishing returns. Going to one of those big state schools is quickly becoming the sign of a sucker to many employers, who increasingly want people who have shown some sense in their life. Which means not borrowing an ungodly amount of money for a degree from a University that cares much more about their sports program than anything else. Even that isn't an absolute recommendation, though, since many employers want to see the big schools or whatever, usually because they come from them themselves.
Your major generally matters less than what you do in that major, and what skills you pick up. Pirate some language programs, gain a baseline knowledge of some major world languages. It looks ballza on a resume, and shows you have some of the cognitive faculties to learn new things.
The whole "STEM or waste of time" thing is true in a general sense, but especially if you don't mind moving around something very specific might not be a bad idea either. As normal, stay the fuck away from Business Management (IT/IS Management is okay, generally speaking).
The stuff about the military is mostly spot on. It does help if you have a Bachelor's, though, because then you'll get a desk job for sure.
You might want to consider just getting out of the US altogether, assuming that's where you're from. There's a lot of shit wrong with the country and it doesn't show much signs of getting better, no matter what ends up happening in 2016.
Mostly I would focus on gaining skills and stability, rather than trying to grow it with an investment scheme. That works better when you already have a job and income to fall back on, and when you don't have to go on imageboards to find out how to grow it in the first place.
