36-years-old communications grad. What degree should I look into pursuing if I'm undecided?

ADVICE

I got my BA in Communications seven years ago. Despite my connections, an eight-year work history, and a positive outlook, i was no match for the current job market. I found limited success in temp contract jobs as a UX designer, Marketing and E-commerce assistant, but i haven't been able to land a full-time job.

After contant pressure from my parents, I've caved and decided to use my free time to go back to school to pivot into a new career. Problem is, after experiencing the job market, I'm not sure what degree would be both enjoyable and viable when I eventually go back to sending applications.

Does anyone know any degree that would pair well with Communications?
