Hi @jaylasola welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.
I really identified with your story. I know how hard it is to work and study at the same time because I did it too, so I congratulate you on getting through that stage. It shows your great capacity for hard work, so it's no surprise that the company where you worked for a short time offered you a higher position. But I agree with your former boss, family always comes first and you made a good decision. Since you already have a good guide in @kellyane, I recommend that you follow her advice and explore the links I've provided below. Best of luck!
