I have just retired from law enforcement and I have a college degree. I am just getting into IT. New career change. Sick of law enforcement.
Any update?
Update??
I am 49 and just got security+ and an associates in cybersecurity. I hope that I am not too old to get a job in cybersecurity.
You have plenty of time. Just keep building up experience and you'll get there. It may be a bit more difficult compared to being in your 30s, but there is such a high demand for good people in this specific field .... (cyber security). And don't be afraid to start with a lower salary to get a foot in the door. You will easily make more down the road.
Thank you for this info!
I am 56 years old and I retired at 52 as a Systems Administrator in an oil company in Venezuela, but I still want to continue working in that IT area. I know that my age is limiting but I still feel young and in good health to continue contributing my experience and long professional career. I am a Higher University Technician in Computer Science and Computer Engineer, I would like to hear your comments, suggestions and recommendations. Greetings from Venezuela. 🇻🇪
42 years old. Trying get to IT.
You got this, my friend :-)
@@ITCareerGuide I did it. Thank you very much for support which is very important for me !
@@DEDEPLDEDE may I ask what your inspiration was? (as in why you chose to leave your current field and also why you chose IT as your new one?)
@@nerd2544 I was driver. Truck driver then bus driver because I had a operation in 2013 and I could not lift anymore. I did it because I had enough of driving (no toilet, abused by customers, etc) and soon all trucks and buses will be driverless vehicles. I was lucky I got to Cybersecurity field because my friend passed CV to the SOC manager. Since then I work as a SOC analyst.
@@DEDEPLDEDE what is SOC 👀
I'm 36 years old Burmese female and my education background is in business line (MBA) and my career has been in sales all along for more than 12 years in Singapore. I want a more like a stable skill related job which is an IT job and a green list job to get a permanent resident in a certain country. But not sure of which IT line to pursuit at this point. Appreciate if get advised for some options in IT areas. Thanks
