"3 STEM undergrad degrees, but no one cares because it's not relevant anymore"
Anyone hiring people for specific things they learned in University is doing absolutely the wrong thing.
Many high end schools don't even have very rigorous applied computing standards, meaning, they might have some hardcore CS stuff, but they don't necessarily encourage good programming habits, patterns, culture etc..
So the education I think always counts for a lot, it's the work experience from 30 years ago that actually may be less relevant.
One opportunity might be to find something 'related' - for example, writing documentation, doing sales support, technical product management - basically anything but front-line engineering. There are a lot of such jobs.
