Going back to school to get into a different industry without computers? (mid-career switch) Advice needed

I studied computer science and landed a tech job in a fairly small company. The pay is great, and I used to have passion, but I got burnt out and now I want to run away from any computers I see. I've applied to general administrative jobs but all got rejected, on the basis that I had a computer science degree so I'd likely not stay for long. I know I can get a job at retail or fnb but preferably I want a job that takes less of a pay cut as possible. Here's come schooling. I have saved enough throughout a couple of years of work to afford to go to college again, I've heard many stories about mid-career switches, but mostly they are to computer science, has anyone had personal experiences about switching away from computer science? What degree did you eventually take?
