Time to change it up again. 2

I've done a lot of things in my life. I was a cowboy, I was a sound engineer, I was a pro fisherman and most recently I've been a sysadmin. Now I'm bored again. Thinking of maybe doing another degree, maybe as a pharmacist or maybe a computer science degree. Optometry seems like a good idea, but ironically my vision's a bit poor for that. It's a bad time of world to be starting a new business and I'm getting a bit long in the tooth for taking a new trade.
So what do you guys reckon I should do?

Do you really have the money to just up and go to school for Pharmacy, for example?
Seems like a boatload of money. Would you be working while also doing that? I've heard Pharmacy school is some of the hardest shit there is... At least some classes. My good friend was about to finish his degree when he got caught selling cocaine.

I have money enough to study whatever I want, part time, while I work. I like the idea of becoming a pharmacist. I'm super interested in drugs and their applications in general. I don't know how many tatted pharmacists there are though. I don't have face or hand tatts, but pharmacists always wear short sleeves from what I remember.

All excellent suggestions, I will consider your advice.
At the moment the internet is being torn apart by hackers and anyone with any experience and qualifications in network security can write their own pay check. I've got the basic set of IT qualifications, but specialising in security would only take a couple of years. Thing I worry about is becoming bored though. Boredom has always been my enemy.

Would they pay me in Bitcoin though? Would save me having to convert my usual pay into internet spendable tokens. Hmmmm 
I hear there's good money to be made in mink extermination at the moment.

I think if you're bored at your current job enough to consider a new degree path, you should not be looking towards pharmacy and optometry work.

I hear lab work can be shit boring though, so repetitive. There's labs where I work now and those mofos are so miserable. I guess I could try and mix my other science and tech qualifications together and try and get myself involved with a GPS company or something like that.
I'm the same at every career though, love it for 4 years, get progressively more bored over the next 3 and then dump it for something new. I need something that will hold my attention long term.
I even considered becoming a career criminal and then cashing out after a few years. Go live in the Maldives or some other tax haven. At least I could be rich and bored then.

I feel like being a pharmacist would get boring unless you have a total hard on for chemistry. Because at least in the states you normally work in a CVS and just spend all day making sure that doctors don't kill people by prescribing medications wrong. It would also be strange to have a career in a CVS, where you are making ~100k while everyone else is making minimum wage.
Although, working as a pharmacist in the ED of a level 1 trauma center (highest level of care in U.S) would be pretty cool as you get to mix drugs for doctors and be involved in procedures. However, I would bet those jobs are rare compared to positions in a drug store.

Why? Then you'd just be here posting after 7 years bitching about being bored.
The literal lowest of career problems of likely every person on the entire shroomery.
