When I was in uni for computer science we had a few older people at the time. I myself went a little older at 21 instead of 18 but there were others, notably one even at 50-ish changing careers from nursing to computer science. I'm pretty sure they're doing pretty good now. If you finish with knowing your stuff, employers aren't going to care that much about your age.
okay so knowing my stuff means a lot of practices and a lot of trial and error, am i right?
thanks for the advice sir..
Trial and error, oh my God yes. So much error. Such a trial. But also try to pay attention to detail... If something seems to generally work but then doesn't for this one case, it might be completely broken and just spitting out plausible stuff the rest of the time. But anyway yeah, you've got the spirit.
okay thanks sir.. ill prepare myself for so many errors in the future..
