To clarify your CG knowledge is as a software engineer or as an artist? IOW you know the math and can write shaders? These skills are applicable outside the games and film industries. You can apply them to machine learning, for example. Like I get that AI is a grift but it is what is currently The Hot Thing so the thing to do might be to contribute to some open source projects.

oh i missed the part where you said you dont want to get into tech. nevermind.
