Well, hilariously, I didn't learn to code from college. I learned that on my own. I went to college for credentialism. I got more out of it than that, but that's what I went for.
I also never worked in the tech industry, in spite of my computer science background. I worked in several others.
All that being said, I'm open to learning a new profession entirely, if I have to. But I would prefer not to. I'd really prefer to just "graduate" into some kind of managerial position, as middle aged men are supposed to.
