Degree path?
Degree path?
(OP)
I was aslo considering a chemical engineering degree, but specializing in cryogenics. Would that be the best path to take or should I look more to a mechanical degree? I am at the point of my education where I need to take my remaining credits from one college, so I want to be sure I am on the right path.
Thanks!

RE: Degree path?
What do you want to do when you grow up?
What industry do you want to work in?
What do you see yourself doing in 5, 10, 20 years?

You won't get pigeon holed with this cryogenics thing and your experience, safety and quality would be a plus when someone starts looking at your resume.

RE: Degree path?
Since you need to decide soon, you should pick a broad course of study, to maximize your choices and your utility to a future employer. While many jobs go to specialists, there is, and always will be, a need for generalists, those that can see the "big picture" and can fit all the pieces of the puzzle together.
Finally, your actual major may likewise be immaterial. I majored in EE, but haven't actually ever done a full-up design, ever. I got swirled into systems engineering and love it. I get to do all sorts of interesting things and get paid for it.

I would not worry about your age, you have experience and a proven disiplne in your work ethic, and desire to improve yourself while working (in service).
What I would worry about is getting the classes to transfer to the school you decide to attend.
