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. 3 Likes |

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

MERS: 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? |
