I'm 45, no CS degree, work for a non-startup, and have no reason to believe I won't be writing code in 10 years so I'm fully on Team Programmer. That said, it sounds like you may be painted into a bit of a corner financially. In your situation I would program recreationally (you don't need to formally expand on your CS minor - plenty of good courses online if you need to go deeper). I'd grow in my primary career, and start looking to opportunities to leverage the two fields (for example, build a SaaS app that targets something in your specialty)
