It could be, but it does not have to be.

I would consider an IT or data science degree. You could also look at computer science or software.

Most data science degrees are quite light on maths however you probably read math textbook like James Stewart Calculus Concepts & Context.

The following link of interest: https://www.jobsandskills.gov.au/data/occupation-shortages-analysis/occupation-shortage-list

In terms data science the job market is not good but doable. Note, the link does not specify the years of experience required for a job.

Speech pathology could be of interest in terms of job prospects.
