Hi,
I’m looking at moving into an IT career (network/system administration) and need some advices on whether this would be a wise decision.
I have been working in the media industry for a number of years as TV assistant editor, video editor and new media technical operator.
Would it be too late at the age of 30 to switch career especially if I don’t have any working history in the IT industry, although I’ve had plenty of experiences with computers at my current job – hardware/software installation, setting up office networks, troubleshooting tech issues – I’m sort of the unofficial tech person at work.
And also being female, what are the chances of getting a job in IT? I have a B.A degree and would be looking at getting the required IT certification.
Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you.
Ashley
