Stimulous is the only thing that keeps you from getting old, I turned 70 yesterday and am applying for a new international patent..........you are NEVER to old to learn or contribute!

thanks for the advice .....when i said old i meant for college i wouldnt think there are too many36 year olds running around the dorm:D

I don't know about that....I'm 42 and I'll most likely head off to University next year.

Keep in mind that there are TONS of degreed/very experienced IT workers that can’t find work. The IT industry has been hit hard by the economy and many jobs are being shipped to India.

Entry level help desk position start at around 10 bucks an hour:rolleyes:
