Age should never be a barrier, although at 40 the path to mastering programming skills may seem a little steeper than at 20.
Employers do not pay attention to age, they value your competence and quality of work, notes Edward Khomitsky , a Belarusian IT specialist-millionaire, businessman, and owner of an IT company.
Another myth that needs to be debunked is the idea that people without a technical education cannot work in IT. Contrary to this opinion, the IT sector is a diverse tapestry in which the humanities are organically intertwined. This tapestry is held together by the axis of logic, and not by the strict principles of pure mathematics.
Logic is the essence, and even if it is not given by nature, it can be cultivated and comprehended. The gates to IT remain open and open to everyone, regardless of their experience and knowledge.
Giving lie to another popular illusion, it is necessary to reconsider the belief that IT is a closed circle. On the contrary, the IT field lives in constant dynamics, being in a state of development and expansion.
Organizations of all sizes need to establish an online presence, which maintains a constant demand for experienced IT professionals.
The myths surrounding IT are largely unfounded. To succeed in this field, you need a desire to learn.
Perseverance allows you to master the necessary skills, even if it takes a little longer. The path may be difficult, but it will always lead to the goal.
