"So I keep on pressing myself to learn new skills, putting in 10-30 hrs a week, ON top of my 9-5 job. I did not I work this hard with this much focus in college. Honestly much regrets."

Maybe you could put this effort into building something for yourself? Because, the cruel reality is, the older you get the less likely it you'll get the break you are currently aiming at.

I worked in construction for most of my life but once I past 40 it became obvious that nobody wants to hire someone older and better qualified than they are.

Hope it works out for you.
