Unless you're desperate for cash, the most effective way to raise your income level is to learn a new skill while updating your resume and networking in that field.

Position yourself for the post-pandemic economy. ie. tech.

Any recommendations for someone with a background in logic controls and light IT (industrial background)? What is actually worth investing your time in?

Just offhand, that sounds like a good start to being a datacenter tech. Learn how to handle all the power equipment, HVAC, racking and stacking, cabling, etc.

Data science and AI/Machine Learning.

Your background would help you get into the field.
