In terms of upward mobility and literal mobility I think IT is unmatched. id say still try and use whatever skills and experience you have now to leverage your forthcoming IT skills, as complicated as that may seem. Far from me to give career advice to a dude older than me but just my 2 cents.I do enjoy programming. And I want to be able to increase my salary and have the freedom to work wherever I want. The second part is more important. I don't see myself staying in my current location forever. I can make 60-75k doing what I do now in various places but the demand isn't that high.
I could get a masters or Ph.D in marine biology or some shyt which I would enjoy it, but I wouldn't make much more if more at all, and I'd have to take out a bunch of loans, probably quit working due to all the field/lab hours, and be limited to where the work is. Not worth it.
Me getting turned down for that promotion has got me feelingbruh. It's a sign that it's time for a change. They told me another position will open up for me in a couple of years but I can't trust it.
