I'd create something using all of my current skills and use it as a milestone template of whatsofar I've accomplished in my life (like a multi-lingual opera, featuring death, dreams and ... haven't figured out the third piece of the epic. This is but a hypothetical..).

It certainly doesn't immediately help one in terms of career advancement, but if you use the right set of skills and present it as an example towards a future employer, of what you are able to comprehend, design, and accomplish with drive and motivation, it can quite easily get you in the door, if not more.

I'm at a demarcation line in life as well, hoping to leap over it and put myself on the right path to, I don't know--business relations or back into architecture again, I'll figure it out--but I don't see how offering my opinion of what I'd do in an enclosed vacuum of supposedlys will aid you to figure out what it is you'd, ideally, like to pursue, ratbastid.

Steps to becoming an attorney are a mighty endeavor, and not just in terms of financing your education. It's not a long process to actually pass the bar, and the basic curriculum is difficult, but not an overburden to someone who is willing, though that's just the tip. You'll need a ton of experience to even be considering a sub-par counselor, and on top of that, the connections you'd need to make in order to make a name for yourself is one of the more tiresome parts of the job.

I wish I knew more computer programming and what type of code fits where, but I know no more than I did yesterday, which was nothing at all, as to offer alternative job ventures.

But I'll ask: are you averse to moving from your current residence and community roots in order to land your next working life? That might help determine what the motivation is behind your choice in careers and what will ultimately best suit yourself, your family, and your current expertise.
