Firstly, don't underestimate the skill of being able to find relevant technical results from a search engine!

So the question comes down to which do you enjoy the most? If you enjoy it you will find a niche and the salary will come.
Can you start a side project, or take on some Pro-Bono (i.e. Free) work on the side for a local non-profit organisation to see where your passion lies.

Take a look at all the technologies out there. HTML, CSS Frameworks, CSS preprocessors, JS Frameworks, WASM frameworks, Serverless functions, REST, GraphQL, Serverside languages: Node, Python, Rust, C#, PHP, Java. Databasees mySQL, MSSQL, Postrgress, Mongo, CouchDB, MariaDB, Firebase, SupaBase and everything in between and just see what interests you.
In the end you will have to build something from scratch to 1) give you the confidence that you are capable and 2) show prospective employers that you can achieve outcomes.
In the end you JFDI and it will come.
There is nothing saying that you have to make a choice and stick to it for the rest of your carreer. I am 52 and am just trying to transation from MSSQL into front end development, having already been an accountant and business analyst.
