I allegedly have access to sensitive financial information that the public does not as part of my job (hint: I really don't), so I'm not allowed to buy or sell stock as I please. There's a bunch of rules to it and I would need to get things approved to buy/sell, but in practice I can't do it at all really.
I don't even have the opportunity to, since there's really nothing that I can find out that you can't 
So basically, I can't make money on my own through investing and I'm not compensated for it fairly.

High school Buddy of mine makes 350k working for facebook. Hard to ignore.
He went to a bootcamp?
It's funny, I have a friend that I haven't spoken to in a while so I was going to text him after work one day to see how he's doing. About an hour before I got out of work, he texted me to talk about learning coding since I've been looking into it for a while now. Turns out about a month ago, he quit his $90,000 a year plus commission sales job because he hated it, and started teaching himself how to code. At this point he's a month in, in another month he said he's going to build a portfolio and attempt to land some sort of super entry level job or internship with shit pay while he's still learning and just build off of that. So essentially, he's calling himself a test subject for what I was sort of planning to do. I have about another two months until I'm fully vested, ironically on my birthday, so I'll decide what to do from there based on how it worked out for him and where I'm at. I guess this could be a test for both of us. Bootcamps in general though, I don't like how it's structured where you're having to devote sometimes 10 hours a day for maybe up to 6 days a week for the duration of those three months, seems like a high risk of burnout or failure. Having that support system and career search assistance would probably be beneficial though.
If you consider yourself to be mathematically adept, particularly with statistic and think you would do well with data visualization and presentation, @Dru recommended to me some good Data Science bootcamps that I can pass along to you if you're interested. I've sort of shied away from this option a bit for now because I'm not particularly confident of my skillset in those areas, though it's something I could always develop later when I'm more established. They command high salaries as well.
You have an idea of what you'd like to focus on as a programmer?

That was my original route, but ended up stopping because there was no way in hell I would get passed calculus 1 and 2.
Do you have any experience in it at all? Because it's definitely not for everyone, it can be very tedious and frustrating at times. I'd say definitely look into things like codeacademy to see if you can tolerate it, that's free. For a more in-depth look, there's CS50 put out by Harvard. It's essentially an introductory class in computer science, lectures and assignments and all, also for free. It's a great resource.
Also would you have any idea what languages he works with? There's a lot you can do, it's very broad.

Here's what I do:
- track and trace shipments for Brits
- track and trace shipments for another Brits
- track and trace for Arabia
- invoice upload for Ireland
- prepare shipment files for Italy
- prepare shipment files for Austria
- scan files for Italy, Denmark, Swiss
- track and trace shipment for Finland, Denmark and Norway
This roughly takes me 8 hours. I work for 9 because I have to send shitload of mails to fuckers who can't understand we lack people. Hardly any break, hardly time to pee. Focus and concentration 99% while work speed is 150% because otherwise can't do shit. I get shitty wages, a headache, stress and so much sleep that I can't rest ever. Yep. Don't whine. Another job where they fuck my ass.

To be honest i know little about the specifics of his job but i might come across him fairly soon and will ask if i do.
Im really not even interested in coding at all just found myself hitting a roadblock in my current career path where not having an MBA is preventing me from advancing as easily as i would like to and i figuref if i am going back to school it needs to be for something that pays the big $

Since you already seem to have valueable experience, an MBA could possibly provide similar returns anyway in less time. What position would you be advancing to with an MBA? What does the job description look like? Many good finance jobs usually ask that you know a language or two (SQL and Python I see a lot of). If you have no interest in coding and like the sort of work you're in at the moment, maybe consider getting and MBA and supplement it with a programming language or two that could allow you to get to the step after the next.
Would be cool if i could find employment at a company that would pay for the MBA
