SAE is well recognized.

Unfortunately, the kind of jobs that graduates have to accept are usually internships, with no pay and long and crazy hours. SAE prepares students to work in professional studios; but the problem is those are becoming less and less common.

With your long list of educational credentials, are you stating that none of these seem enjoyable? What makes you think that obtaining a degree from SAE would guarantee happiness in a job?

I actually know someone who attended one of the SAE schools in Germany. For awhile, he had a job at BMW in their noise & vibration reduction department (I actually know his father very well - haven't had an update in awhile).

Since you came looking for advice on the internet, Sam, here's hoping you'll take this as advice.

Pick one of your 10 or so backgrounds - make use of it NOW. Find the good in whatever job you can find using one of those credentials, and capitalize on it and expand that good. Reduce and eliminate the negatives in that job to the best of your abilities. Save your current girlfriend some money while you are at it.

Then take that nice dog for a walk each night after you get home from work, with the satisfaction of putting in a good day's work.
