Ask HN: What niche in IT would you advise your struggling brother to pursue?

Hi HN. Imagine that you have a mid 30's brother with an arts degree (despite being very confortable with maths, logic and tech in general) struggling in life. What niche in IT would you advise him to pursue?

I'm inclined to advise him React + Rails. Python might be easier to learn but I'm afraid he wouldn't get a job.

Look at graduate certificates in statistics, biz intelligence etc. About half the credits of a masters, complete in a year.

If he is comfortable with maths and logic then I would advise him to learn Machine Learning, specifically Deep Learning.

Wouldn't that imply a formal education? He feels too old to get another degree.
