Advise Needed - Is It Worth It? by MERS(m): 11:43am On Sep 15, 2021
I am a 40 year old professional who has interests in becoming a 'tech bro'.

I have purchased courses on Udemy and I guess I am willing to learn as much as I can.

I am however considering my 'age' and the time it will take to learn.

Do you consider this a worthwhile adventure that I should dabble into?

Yeah absolutely. I don't recall anyone asking me for my age in any of the job interviews I have attended neither have I been asked to input my age when applying to jobs. Tech is egalitarian.

In tech age is just a number

I loved Kurt Guntheroth's answer to a similar question like this on Quora. You do the math for yourself.

Yes it is, however, there are lot of career pathways in tech, if you tell us your interest, I will be able to give you a guildline based on my years of experience in Tech.

What are you fascinated about in tech, are you driven by data or building software?

Why should he DM you when you can give advice here for future readership to learn.

His first Degree has nothing to do with the question.

Hello,
Currently learning vanilla JavaScript, + I have an intermediary knowledge of both HTML and CSS..

Should I port to Salesforce or I continue my path?

I am in this because of money....
So I will follow where the money is...

Thanks
