I often envy people working in IT. It feels like the perfect field for ADHD people. For me it feels like it's too late to change over. (I'm in my early 30s.) So I think it's gonna be best to just try to be happy with my current job. After all, wanting something else than what you currently have is very ADHDish...
Nah mate, you wouldn't believe how many early 30s and end 20s start their IT studies over here. If you like it and you're into it, you can still rock it. Think about how many years of work you have left and take 2-5 years off that it takes to switch ... I think its still worth it in the long run isn't it?
It's incredibly depressing.
I started university when I was in my mid 30s and graduated as a chemical engineer, much better than working retail or something for another 20 years
I don't know. I have a full time job and have to pay off a house for the next ~30 years. There's no room to follow other professions.
WGU can get you a BS in software development or IT in a handful of years for like $3,500 per half year.
Trained an ex chef of 20 years who took bsc in CS in his early 40s. Gone on to start a great career in tech. It’s never too late fren
