I did a similar thing when I was your your age. Try to get a programming job in the industry you worked in. Domain experience matters. Don't correlate your age with where you think you should be in life. When I finished grad school I subtracted 10 years from my chronological age and declared it my career age. I picked 10 b/c that's the difference in years between my graduate and undergraduate degrees. Nowadays, when I get hung up on where I think I should be in life (office, better salary, etc), I think how I'd feel if I were my career age. From that perspective, I always come out ahead.
