Which direction to choose if you have an economic background?

Good afternoon!
Tell me please.
Given:

  • Woman, 43
  • Strong economic background.
  • Strong mathematical background.
  • In my free time, as a hobby, sites on WP, but the first ones on php I drew without CMS; 1C (without certificates); up to 1C for accounting tasks I wrote macros in Visual Basic. Those. I didn’t seem to be interested in programming in itself, but if you need to solve a problem or it’s interesting to do something on your project, then googling and trial and error always gave results.
  • English B2 and Polish B1
  • Pole's card (the ability to obtain permanent residence and citizenship by roots, i.e. I do not need a work visa).
  • Time: a year and a half before leaving for Poland.
  • The ability to devote 100% of the time to training (there is a financial cushion): self-education, courses for a certificate (what?), master's degree, retraining, internship.

Purpose:
There is an opportunity to leave. A lawyer, economist, teacher with a non-native language and ignorance of local specifics is difficult and unprofitable. We need a profession that will feed in any country and / or remotely. IT is an ideal option, whatever one may say.
I think, if you have the strength and desire, you should take on the most complex strategic projects. I can always work as an accountant - I have a bird in my hands. I want to catch a crane.
Question:
Which direction to focus on, where knowledge of the subject area is more important: economics, business analysis, production processes, accounting entries, tax legislation.
I would like to find a direction where a 43-year-old beginner with a good subject background will be really useful.
Options: ERP, databases, analytics.
Not mine: games, design, web, system administration, testing.
Thanks in advance!

Analytics. You need a 1c+excel/vba+python+sql stack to be a general purpose analyst that does all the hard work in any organization (that understands why they need an analyst, of course). And then you already see what is closer to you and where you are more useful.
Not in any country you will get a job as an analyst, but this occupation is close to top management - in extreme cases, you will always know, based on numbers, how and what is best to do and how to build business processes correctly

IT is an ideal option, whatever one may say.

Entering IT is quite difficult now, as the competition among newcomers is quite serious. That's why it's not a fact.
The most difficult ones should be taken only if you have the appropriate training.
Analytics (depending on the company, completely different stacks of knowledge), but you will most likely need databases.
Auditing is tough, but if there is a desire and zeal, why not.
According to your background, the closest is accounting, 1C, possibly financing.

Strong economic background.
Strong mathematical background.

add another university (Ukrainian, I suspect), in which you were told about this
how the practitioner will do it: open the job site, parse, correct for the time lag, normalize, select
all this, if so, the practice follows from these two points
