I’m doing bioinformatics at present. It seems to pay similarly to programming. Have you considered just doing programming / software development? That is usually more dependent on technical skill than credentialisation. Data science or data engineering could also be feasible if you like maths.
Maybe, although you already have a bachelor’s and might later have a better idea about a preferred masters.
Bioinformatics could help bring about better medicines or biomedical research generally, and could help with the identification of synthetic pathogens from a risk reduction point of view. So it’s not without impact.

But isn’t a total lack of formal education a barrier to many jobs and to a high salary?
What about the impact of bioinformatics on society? How much good could a person do in research focused on bioinformatics?
