I've been giving the idea some serious thought. I love my current job, but I want some extra assurance to make myself more marketable should I decide to move.

So you are considering going back to school and changing jobs based on What ifs and Maybes?
Whatever, bro

I thought that you were a P.E. or something? Get an MBA if you want to into management.

That seems very broad everything from accounting to a process operator.
What do you like to do for work?
What are you good at?

Why put in the time to gain experience and advance when you can just go back to school and change careers?

Plant Operator requires a family member or good friend to get you job in most cases. Let's just be honest about that shite. Not as bad as in past but still nepotism city.

Physics majors are either really smart, really dumb, or high school teachers.
My buddy has:

BS - Naval Architecture and ME
MS - Math, EE, and Physics
PhD - About to finish up Physics

He's an AP physics teacher, tutor, and PhD student.


Eta: The reasoning behind that is because he doesn't have his green card. All schooling was done here, so he's been on a student visa for the past 20 years. Once he becomes a citizen, he'll either keep teaching high school, or he'd be a shoe-in for LIGO

For some reason unknown to me, there are a lot of working accountants who have engineering degrees.

Any type of work that can lead to consulting opportunities down the road is a wise path to follow.

You can get an entry level construction management job with that engineering degree. No need to get a degree in CM.

Information technology and/or cyber security = job security and above average (understatement) salary

Relatively easy to break into the feild even if you have unrelated degree.
