How to get out of Talent Acquisition / Recruiting?
So I've been in recruiting for about 9 years, some working remotely, some in an office. I've always been a top performer, but am overlooked or suppressed from career advancement opportunities. I had a technical MBA and an undergrad out of the field. I have a few certs in change management and six sigma, but not the engineering degree most companies seek for opportunities that interest me. I feel I am typecasted in this role and my current company is iceberg slow in career advancement. That and IMO 10 to 15 years behind in technology. I have interests in strategy and project management. I have done some marketing and sales, and some other non relevant works towards what I want to do. Any advice?
You can always get an post bacc bachelors degree. They even offer it online these days
The Mech Eng or Chem Eng programs I want are sadly about starting over and would take 3.5 or 4 years. I don't want to wait that long to get offers for way less. I have like 17 certs on top of the degrees. I'm not sure education will allow me to pivot and make the money I want. My other option is starting my own company. But I have not done fundraising. I feel I have an industry busting concept and have gotten favorable feedback in interviewing potential customers.

Try getting to Marketing or Product Management.
Sales? If you are good at recruiting, you will probably succeed in sales...
Sales opportunities want to slash my base in half and give me a variable to make similar money to today this far.
