I just got in to milling trees in the last month, went from a 20" to mill up an old oak that fell in my back yard to a 36" 661. All I can say is the satisfaction of seeing what is in a tree has been some of the most fun I've ever had in 100+ degree weather. If you made it 75 degrees and 5000 years old I may never stop hunting.

I always thought I was ADHD, then I started a business, turns out I just like to do things my way and lead not follow. I've struggled to "focus" my whole life I'm a jack of all trades and master of none.
When you find the right thing you'll know. I would do what I do now for free or if I was worth 100 Million because I love the game.
I started StumpCrafters.com just a few months ago and its great. I love being out in the shop more and still getting to do a few things with code here and there.
Im not quite there with the customization yet but its in the works.
I got burnt out doing JS apps development during the past 2 years. I got laid off and knew I did not want a desk job anymore.
I took what skills I had woodworking/web development and started a business. Its called Stump Crafters I build "stumps" to hammer nails in to its a pretty fun game and is not as dumb as it sounds. The game is in much the same vein as Cornhole, washers or other backyard games.
If you have money and space think about a table saw and build some jigs for it(its like getting your IDE setup).
If space and moeny are a problem look in to joinery to get started. Hand cutting "dove tails" is extraordinarily gratifying and can be done with minimal investment while you are learning but as you will see the price quickly gose up if you want the best tools.
If you have more specific questions about wood working or welding let me know (PM's are best) I could talk for days.
I use evernote to take "notes" and WIP stuff(this makes it searchable). Then I have trello boards with higher level planning. To stay out of the weeds I roughly use GTD/khanban/agile that I have made work for me. It took quite a while to get my system dialed in but once it clicked I easily got 40% more productive because of the gained focus on what I "SHOULD" be working on.
I would also add that I am not sure about the MEAN stack camps I have seen few if any job descriptions that actually used that stack more than likely they just want you to know JS.
It depends on the camp and who the somebody is. All boot camps are not created equal. I went to a boot camp that was not in the top tier and while I dont necessarily regret going lets just say it was not the reason I was able to get hired.
