Life’s short. Take some gambles. Especially if money isn’t a big deal to you. Plus psychologically it’s a bit more motivating to be taking (calculated) risks than stuck in a rut. I’m not sure what you were thinking in terms of going back to school. But there's so much opportunity in developer adjacent roles. Taking a gamble could also mean accepting a boring job and doing more fun things in your own time. I had a colleague that would take long weekends and do crazy hiking trips, and he just loved it. Work can just be work, imagine all the other crappy jobs out there, our jobs are pampered in comparison.
