Experienced post. I did all that shit. College (computer science), trade school (carpenter), industry school (CNC machinist/technician). Various technical certs in computers. Some other classes/schools too. Damn straight. I even read ...books! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] like non-fiction stuff by golly [You must be logged in to view images.

Looking at enrolling in IT education soon myself and learning a programming language unless I want to transition into sales. I think there is a reason a lot of people avoid working in sales. Just seems very stressful if you aren't a pathological machine about it. Seems you are either a good salesperson or you are really bad. Risky allocation of time and who aspires to get a career in sales anyway?
Worst case I guess there is always the tar sands. I haven't looked into the safety risks yet and what a new guy arriving at the Sands can expect...I am guessing there is a reason the pay starts at six figures, and probably not entirely due to having to relocate to a shithole and ditch your family and friends.
I think I'm getting too old for the Sands though.
I could go back to school, but IDK how that works with my employment. First world problems of making your own way in the world I guess. Would have been nice to grow up in the 16th Century in a family of master blacksmiths and have it automatically decided for you.
Several years to go before I'm caught up to you though Daywolf as far as # of career changes go. You are a fair bit older than me.
