It sounds like you are really trying to figure out what direction to go next, rather than specifically asking about a CS degree. I have been in a similar position several times in my life, and found the following two books helpful: "What color is your parachute?" by Richard Bolles and "What should I do with my life?" by Po Bronson. The first is more of a manual to work through to help you figure what you want, and where you might find it. The second is basically a bunch of true stories about people who faced the same kind of question, and what they did - it's NOT a manual on what to do,I think of it more like a "peer group" - psychologically it's helpful to see what other people did and didn't do in these situations (spoiler -there is no 'right' answer, but there are some useful principles that might help you narrow down your choices) If at some point you do decide that doing a (CS?) degree might be useful, get in touch - I am currently studying for another degree in my 40'swhile working, with several family members doing online CS degrees while working
