Overview of my 2nd Bachelors in CS

Pretty awesome. If you do want to go the dev route, I also recommend that you get in the habit of writing code all the time. Both create new programming projects you work on all on your own, and find interesting open source projects that you can download, build, and try to make modifications to. Every successful developer I've ever known has been a self-starter that does it for fun as well as for money.

Solid advice.  I am too old to relaunch my career as a software developer, but I do plan on trying my hand at a few fun projects for small apps that would help me in my everyday life.  I think every successful person I've ever known in general has been a self starter.  It is hard to do some of my type of work 'for fun', but I am constantly reading, listening to podcasts and otherwise engaging to improve my knowledge.  It is a must.
