Sounds awfully like what I had... The Lounge[^] Hope you get over it as quickly as I did.

Please don't whine, after all you are NOT a Java coder... 
Hope you'll get better soon.

I got my flu shot and covid booster last week. The following day I was very tired but I didn't ache. Then the following day I was fine again. My arm was sore for a few days and a bruise the size of a finger tip was there but nothing else. These shots are relatively painless compared to the pneumonia shot and the shingles shot. Those leave your arm sore for a few days where you can't even lay on your side. But it is still less painful than actually getting shingles which can be excruciating.

Tomorrow I'm going back to school and they start at 9. Going to look, and might turn into an associate degree if I sign up. I can't get a job anymore without a degree it seems, so, we'll simply have to fix that.
But.. 17 years ago, a girl asked me advice on finding work and I advised her that school. She walked in my footsteps then to become a coder, and now I'm following hers to get a degree.
Life is pain, princess. Anyone claiming otherwise is trying to sell something.

Best of luck to you in your school work and in finding subsequent employment. With your credentials and achievements I do not understand the need for a diploma. It is a shame such is required as few things are more pleasurable then studying to mastery a subject in one's own home at one's own time and in one's own way.

None will hire me without, despite history. Dem achievements don't count no more.

I can survive a few weeks, trying to learn for-loops from a "master".
To make it worse; I cannot start at that school, because I miss the minimal education for entry

The University of Liverpool would let me go for my Master's based on work experience, but I wouldn't be able to get a tax deduction because they were not accredited at the time (for remote learning? or something); so I passed.

I could buy a bachelor a few years ago; the paper degree doesn't guarantee proficiency.

Thank the great Ghu I made it to retirement before this sort of insanity took hold, I dropped out of school at 15, started coding in my 30s (in VBA of all things  ). My last CV summary was 4 pages long and that was 20 years ago and now I'm probably unemployable.
Good luck and may the learning be pleasurable.

It's hard to be a student; last time I stood before them as a teacher.
Now, someone is going to step up to learn me python.

One would think that a person with many years of experience would be a better choice than a newly-minted B.Sc, but then the hiring managers would actually have to exercise judgement, and couldn't fob hiring off on HR.

Gonna go off the rails here for a second…
Lie on your resume?!?!?
Do you think most employers bother to check?
I have recovered now. That would be bad. Nobody ever lies on a resume!
Or you could just leave a four year gap in your CV and when they ask about tell them that is when you went to Yale. When you get the position tell them
“Thanks! I really need this yob!”
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

I have multiple gaps in my resume; also a few spots where I quit after a year.
I'm not the type of person to thank for "this job", I'm just selling skills and labor. That's a take it or leave it proposition, and what you see is what you get

I have a PhD in Computer Science that an agent once told me to leave off my CV as he said hiring managers don't like "over-qualified" candidates. So I just used my Bachelor's degree for a while and that seemed to work fine in most cases. Don't worry about the "level" of your degree, any type will normally do.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

I was worried about the place itself, and whether I can keep my big mouth closed.

It's the portfolio. I did a whole bunch of little freelance jobs for remote clients that resulted in getting attention landing longer term contracts ... which led to another contract based on what I learned previously, etc. But all remote.
One goes back to satisfy "IT recruiters"; not customers who just want a good solution.
With "IT shops", when you think it's about a degree, more often it's ageism; which contracting and freelancing doesn't suffer from (in my experience) ... because everyone knows it's temporary.
