Hi, I will hit 50 next Apr, and I'm in dilemma with my current work. I'm in an IT industry. I have few certs on hand, but, I've yet had a real experience with them. In my 25 years of career, I have been doing lots of areas from Ops to Administrative duties. I dare say, Jack of all trades, but master of none. It's in our contract that, we are to rotate in our industry so that we are not left out. However, I find that this culture doesn't apply in the real IT Industry. I have thought of moving on, but, uncertain if I'm able to contribute.
I'd also thought of a career switch, teaching perhaps, however, going back to class for teaching courses isn't easy as well.
