I mean, even if we devote all of our remaining time to combat training, the best we're probably going to achieve in canon-level combat is "not dying immediately".
That being said, I still want Whitley to be able to defend himself. So maybe we go Scrooge McDuck/Renaissance Man route, and try to balance both training and business?
It sounds like Willow, Jacques and Klein all know that Whitley ran away, Winter doesn't know because she's serving with the Atlas military, and Weiss has twigged to the fact that there's something not quite right with her little brother (or who she thinks is her little brother).

Before being a huntsman, Pyrrha was batman.
Shame we could't get a place to stay, but now we have some cash, so it shouldn't be a problem to try now.

I personally disagree with this view, nothing so far show us that we can't get at the same level than the canon teams, even Jaune, who we know only started training seriously when he reached Beacon, was able to do so.
So we don't have any reason to think that Whitley, who has much more time to reach that level if we try, can't.

Yah plus he already has at least some prior training and his aura and semblance unlocked
Well if we go with Plan New Home, First Friends and roll decently we stand a good chance of being able to bunk down at Pyrrha's place or possibly at Sanctum Academy (depending on how much time she's spending at each one). This could make it easier for Whitley to learn how to fight - maybe Pyrrha could teach him how to fight like she did with Jaune in canon, or if not then she might be able to recommend another teacher instead. And we could start our own business for Whitley to fund himself - maybe he could continue acting as Pyrrha's agent? He did well enough at it to clear one hundred grand in two weeks.
Which options are selected for Plan Roof and Food ? I couldn't find it on the thread.

Well, maybe we could be both? like, a Huntsman who goes on adventures an is also really rich but also moral in his way of getting money.

I honestly want us to be an explorer/adventurer and huntsman exploring unknown lands and ruins it can be assumed that one day we might regain the resources of the Schnee so until then only having as much money as is needed or we stumble upon seem more appealing to me (then just focusing on get rich and business) also makes us less of a target for Jacques to find probably.
Being a huntsman would help being tougher then the toughies also it would help on adventures we go on much like scrooge when he has to use his skills to get out of trouble .

… no comment.
also no comment.
Indeed.
Correct though that depends what you do in upcoming big event.
Take a guess?
Well it would be in line with Santa Schnee.
We'll look on the bright side. We aren't involved with a family civil war!
Let me put it to you this way…
You can get to Jaune Level pretty easy, even in a few weeks with Santa Schnees sword…
It's going beyond that will be hard.
Why not make her our employee, she certainly looks like the adventurous type.
… looks at notes…
I mean, adventure awaits… I'm just giving you time to train and build those social links.
Also that sword fills you with DETERMINATION!

Imagine if we somehow made Pyrrha have a crush about us that would be a little strange

Not crush, but definitely view us as a little brother.

Not a fan of this. I understand the need for some combat skill, but I don't really want Whitley to be a full hunter.

Jaune's the outlier though, not the norm. You really have to accept that Jaune is extremely talented for the amount of training and experience he has. And his major assests in combat are his semblance and his leadership. Not his combat prowess. If you don't accept that, the entire setting pretty much breaks.
Of course, we have whatever mysterious qualities Winter Fluch has, as well as the Schnee Semblance, which will probably help a lot in the combat department, but I don't expect Whitley to reach canon-levels of combat prowess in just three years.

Well, we now know that we can reach at least Jaune's level.
The difficulty will be after that, but if we roll well, we might be able to obtain a mentor in Pyrrah, which would make thing a little easier for us in that front.
Besides, in a more mechanical level, that would be artificially blocking paths for us to take, and I don't think that Magoose would block us from the combat stuff without a good reason.
There is something to be said about the networking opportunities from attending say Beacon. Because while money can buy huntsmen/huntresses it cannot say get you the loyalty of highly skilled individuals, and that is something you get from doing things together.
Also the Academies are by design really good places to gain experience, and learn leadership in a manner that mitigates failures unlike say an expedition that goes poorly, which would damage your reputation.
Although we lack the Schnee archives to be able to get all the real life skills needed to pull off an expedition, and just quit early to do so.
