I don't trust the passive income gurus personally, as most of the advice I've seen either amounts to a second job to be lucrative (software, selling goods) or doesn't really work for the majority who try a gimmick after the lucky few have already exploited it.
Given your post, I assume you don't actually know what you're real interests are yet. I'd take as little of the money as possible and experiment. You don't need high-end equipment to mess with hardware, software, trying out being a personality, whatever. You can typically get by on trash hardware, and learn more.
Tldr, I'd definitely think about school, but I'd want to experiment to figure out what my interests are first. Money can help you float along while you figure it out.
