No do UI/UX. These "new cats" aka young bloods go destroy you there. Look for something most people run away from. For a n00b, someone already suggested System Admin. Allied to Syd Admin is Devops. I would suggest Help Desk->System Admin and ultimately Devops. I be "grandpapa" like you. But this field doesn't care about age. At least not in your 40s. Welcome. And stay the course. You will run into stuff that will make you consider quiting. That's the time to dig into your core and tell yourself why you are doing this. Na escape from poverty all of us dey. Dem go say 46 na old man. But person wey die at 46 die young. Nor let age pressure you. Na when person wake na hin be hin morning

All your comments are top notch, you go be smart person well well for real life😀

One thing I want you to know is that tech skill does not have age constraint.
you can learn any skill as far as you have the passion and zeal.
Don't feel intimidated go for the skill.

I am 46 years old, going to 47.
I've always wanted to learn a computer skill, and while at it, further my studies.

I am a secondary school leaver and came to Lagos over 10 years ago to learn ethical hacking but dropped out due to financial constraints.
I want to study UI/UX Design.

Am I too old to start?

Thank you very much.
I will be starting soon.

The passion is there.

No, you are never too old.

There was a guy who made KFC was 65 when he started.

But what about competing with New cats a.k.a young bloods. His blood no dey hot like before and he'ol have to juggle family responsibility with learning.

Hello Sir, I saw this link in another thread about online university offering scholarship. If you have access to laptop and you can be determined, you can register and obtain associate degree (or bachelor degree ) from them.

Computer science is one the courses being offered Sir. Just wish to share the information as seen.

Remain blessed and do have a lovely weekend.
