I was wondering about how difficult it is to learn to code? Or about studying hardware, software etc. more generally.
I'm considering possibly changing lanes from the work I have been doing to an IT career although I have not made any decisions for definite as I might consider a part time working arrangement and then study part time.
IT affords work from home opportunities and working past retirement in ways that I think other career paths do not, at least a number of friends who actually work in the field have said so and talked about colleagues who do free lance or commission based work alongside or in addition to their main source of revenue/employment incomes.
Although, all said, I'm an older guy, I can still concentrate, speed read, time manage etc. but I worry about the whole drop off in skills acquisition and learning capacities in mid-life. I probably will decide some sort of learning strategy for this kind of thing anyway, although perhaps not to the standard of a professional if its not probably or possible for someone my age. What do anyone with experience in this field think about it?
