I started my master's degree in Orthodontics at age 34, now I'm 38 and I couldn't be happier about my career now

I already got my masters in economics and business admin, but I find myself unemployed, unsuccessful and uninterested in the field. Thought about learning to code so I could do stuff like analytics. Anyway, now at 32 I've started to do those very basic freecodecamp exercises and projects. I know this won't get me a new degree, but I think it will be a decent skill in the future to have.

In the same boat I have a degree in finance and business but went back to school since I gave up looking for a job depressed and hopeless, now I'm debating chasing a degree in biophysics or switching to analytics anything but business can stand that, its comforting to know and see other people on a similar path as me I turn 30 in the summer and still don't have a clear job trajectory but I'm learning and trying to find what I'm passionate in

Also just got an adhd diagnosis so that awnsers why school was so fucking impossible in my early years.

I'm hanging onto hope.
