Hi Everyone, In the IT and software industry. Do you think a person is too old to become a software engineer beyond the age of 40? |

Na its not but I won't lie you would have to work really hard to catch up especially if you have family responsibilities. A six month course might take you two to three years to finish. 6 Likes |

Age should not be a barrier to acquiring skills and moving on to another phase of your life. Although I think that Software Engineering is immersive and very tasking, so you may lag a bit and learn slower than the younger version of you (that is, someone who's still youthful and have no pressing responsibilities). There are exceptions, but these exceptions shouldn't deter you from achieving what you want. All the best. 2 Likes |

LikeAking: Lol. This guy, I have been observing you for some time now, and it's that I think that you are a very pessimistic person. Not like it's a bad thing, but can you try not to project your pessimism onto other people? Right here, I don't know if you are being sarcastic or just trying to be funny. 2 Likes |
