| Well sonny, Ifn' a beat up ol geezer like me (40+) can git a job in the new fangled IT field, so can you yunguns. 2 years of votech book leanin, and hours and hours of studing for them dangblasted cert tests finally paid off. Start monday on a W2K migration. Big bucks? Not really, (just wait a year or 2). I'm jest read to jump in and let the real learning begin. If ya want something bad enough, just apply yourself and keep on pluggin away.

| Talking of old geezers in the I.T field,I am now 51 and deceided 2 years ago to enter the I.T. Field(and I love it)Passed my a+ and am now doing net+, but I must tell you something I never expected.Being the "mature" person amoung the youngsters sometimes has a destinct advantage that people percieve you as being knowlegable beyond what you actually are. That perception is worth a lot in dollars. In just nine months after entering my entry level job at $8 per hour I moved from lowest position to highest position of Manager.No one seemed to be surprised other than myself.
Its the few grey hairs that make the difference , you see!.
So for all you old geezers out there who have been scared away by the "young peoples vocation" hype, remember its all just perception.
