I am in same boat roughly. Our age group is the lost generation. The HR scientists dont want us for some reason. Was thinking of finishing my graduate program. Now Im considering getting into welding, CNC etc.

UPS hasn’t called yet. Neither has United, Delta, FedEx, Southwest, or AA. I’ve since taken a job at another major and am quite happy here, but I work with guys without ANY degree, so the masters certainly wasn’t necessary. That said, I do hope that if I ever lose my medical it will help me gain employment outside of flying.
I went to Delta State and recommend it from a value and convenience standpoint. All in cost was about $12k, you can get it done about 14 months if you take full credit loads and do summer classes.
Go Fighting Okra!!
