What degree path is the logical path?

Note: no medical, no government. I'm done with blood and ranks

Obviously the short answer is to find a technical area.

Are you really the techie type though?

Leadership in anything requires people skills and it sounds like you are what we call a "Natural" and have figured out the masculine-to-feminine dynamic that works and maximizes the married relationship.

With that understanding of humanity you actually make good leadership material.

Are you sure you can't be lured back into a leadership position?

I know it can be really shitty but my guess is we have a dozen techie types for every one "Natural".

Just look online at the degrees that make the most money and choose one that aligns with your skill set. Payscale.com ranks degrees by average earnings immediately after graduation and mid-career. Engineers, programmers, & actuaries do quite well. Most of the majors with high earnings involve a lot of math and technical skill, so if you suck at math just study business, construction, real estate, even accounting isn't that rigorous. If you aren't good at learning, don't go to school and just get a job and hustle mega hard for promotions.

STEM, in general, is the best area in which to go. Find something within that which you might find suitable.

DO NOT LET FLASHY LECTURERS AND EASY GRADES DRAW YOUR INTO THE HUMANITIES

Data Science and Analytics is a field that will prove to be more and more lucrative as time goes by. It combines statistics, economics, programming, and engineering all into one to find solutions and patterns within big data for companies at a high pay grade. I also think it has great potential to consult in once enough experience is gained so you can be your own boss and rake it in simultaneously (this is my long term plan).

There aren't too many degree programs yet in Data Science specifically, but there are some and more popping up every year. Just google degrees in data science or data analytics. A degree in engineering or computer science will provide you with the proper qualifications as well.

Not to mention it's super interesting to be able to find patterns and solve problems in dozens of potential areas (healthcare and energy to name a few based on the current election results)

I'm seeing a lot of people pointing at STEM as a good high paying career path. As a current STEM major with friends in many of the STEM fields I'll add what insight I can into the different specific STEM fields.

Computer science, my field, subdivides into back end programming and front end UI design. If you figure out what you like you can specialize MUCH further. You can earn very good money in this field, but if it's "just a job" and you don't actually have an underlying passion for the science then it's a very taxing field to be in.

Physics, by definition, constitutes the aspects of science we have clearly defined math for. It's usually very mathematically oriented, but also fairly straightforward. Many physics jobs are design/engineering oriented and frequently crosses over with uses in programming and robotics depending on whether you orient towards engineering/applied physics or research/theoretical physics.

Chemistry has much less math, focusing instead on molecular interaction. I personally dislike it for a number of reasons. Many chem jobs are oriented around pharmaceutical and industrial chemical research with a few in toxicology and forensics.

Biology is MUCH less math oriented. It crosses over with chem somewhat and is much more observation-inference oriented. Biology jobs are oriented towards pharmaceuticals, conservation, and research.

My biggest piece of advice if you're considering a STEM field is to make sure you have a personal passion for the field you go into beyond the job position. It will become part of your life and if you aren't interested in it beyond a means to make a living you'd be better off doing something else. STEM is by no means limited to the fields I have outlined, these are just good starting points for figuring out what you really want to do.

Edit: Oh, and fuck IT. Don't bother. It's a nightmare.

I'm thinking of getting personal trainer certification. Anybody have experience with that route? Not as a lifetime career but for a few years?

Coumputer Science all the way, US is the mother of opportunities when it comes to this field, plenty of opportunities. To be successful you need to have good foundations in programming and you will be successful. If you don't like technical, second thing I would recommend is Management degree since you are a sociopath, do something in combination of finance and marketing, you will rise!

If not medical, then that only leaves financial and consulting.

Bad news time - these professions typically recruit the young. Really, really, really hard to get into it if you are over 30

Why do you want a job that will give you power and respect? Power and respect come from being good at your job - pretty much any job.

Personally, I greatly prefer chasing money and satisfaction. I'm a database developer, and I like it. I have power and respect because I found my niche and I add value. Everyone I know who went straight for prestige has failed. Or become a cop. But I repeat myself, lol.

Seriously, though, what do you find satisfying?

Nuclear engineering is a good bet right now. Tons of investment in weapons and the nuclear fleet will need to be replaced soon unless we wish to gasp! use more carbon based fuels.
