Your story is me 9 years ago. I got a degree in biochemistry but my research experience was organic synthesis. I hated the toxic nature of the job and, like you, I only really liked the theoretical aspects of synthesis. Don't go back for another degree. You don't need it. I stumbled around for a while before I discovered web development. I even started grad school in chemistry because I didn't know how else to support myself. But after the first few months of grad school I made a radical decision to take out as much money as I could from my student loan and dropped out. I then spent the next year teaching myself webdev (using the student loan money and credit card debt). Some people would say it's really stupid to take on debt like that but it was the best decision of my life. I started out by making a web design business. That got my feet wet with front end work and provided just enough encouragement and money to keep me going. 6 months later a company saw my work and offered me a job for 55K. Two years later and I am now making 70K. Web development is soooo much better than chemistry. It's extremely fulfilling. Don't get a second degree. Just dive in and do it. Good luck!
