Interview Question :: Urgent question about my IT Career


have been debating myself on how & where to start?
I am 49 years old and I need to start where I can get a job
quickly. I check Linux/Unix well they all require 4 to 6 years of experience in order to consider you. Meaning if I learn linux nobody will hire me. I look at SQL Server DBa same thing , even if I get a certifications my chances at 49 without any experience are slim to get into that field. I was thinking about ASP.NET and the Web Development in general. What do you guys will recommend me to at least get my feet into the field?? After that I will learn more but I need to get in. Thanks for your recommendations guys.

RE: Urgent question about my IT Career?

One is expected to consolidate himself in his career around at the age of 35. Before you try to put your hands in this IT field, why don't try to strengthen your skills in the same field which was your bread and butter earner till date.

However one simple aspect - every body has to start as a fresher at one point. If better job options require three-four year experience, some minor jobs are offered for freshers also.

RE: Urgent question about my IT Career?

no offense, I'm in IT and if I was that age, I wouldn't be wanting to start in this kind of career. I haven't done Linux much, but I've done Oracle and SQL server and App development in VB, Access and various back-ends, but I regret moving into the software field. It has its good points, but I'm tired of competing with china, india and h1b people and people much younger than me. Like it or not, they have an advantage.
