After some job prospects fell through my dad convinced me to pursue an online master's degree part time while I continued looking for work

Come the following March and all those jobs shut down completely with the initial outbreak of COVID but I was already ahead of the curve using the lockdown time to get a swanky new degree.

Me too, except mine was an AS. Covid hit and my work hours dropped so low that I just said "fuck it" and quit my job to finish school off full time.
