What path to take?

Hi. Not really a Linux specific post, but looking for some advice. I have been a long time Windows / Active Directory admin, added in general datacenter admin for the last decade, then last few years a lot of CentOS, Openstack and growing my Ansible skills at the moment. I can do a little scripting here and there, but unfortunately have never gotten very far in learning to code. I am kind of at a fork in the road and don't know which way to go. If you were in my shoes, which of these roads would you choose?
1. Big data / Machine Learning / AI (I would have very little ability to use this in my current role)
2. AWS Architect (I would be able to implement a little in my current role, but not much since we have an Openstack environment in a co-lo where we host almost all of our stuff.)
3. DevOps (Ansible, Docker, Heat / Kubernetes, ELK stack, New Relic, GitHub, Jenkins, Maven, Python) (I could immediately implement pretty much everything I learn in my current environment, but I have a little less interest in it than the other options.)
4. Your preferred suggestion
I look forward to hearing from you!
