You got 2x (or whatever) the salary until then. That should give you plenty of time to catch up. Currently anybody is employed anyways if one knows how to use a keyboard. I don't think that is ending anytime soon.
- JohnBooty 5y agoYou got 2x (or whatever) the salary until then. That should give you plenty of time to catch up. You can catch up, but your resume can't. Let's say you take a cushy COBOL job for X years and then spend Y years on your own "catching up." At that point you're pretty proficient in whatever the trendy thing is at that time. But what do recruiters see? They see, "this person hasn't worked with anything modern in X+Y years, and hasn't even had a job in Y years" It can be overcome, but... not ideal. Currently anybody is employed anyways if one knows how to use a keyboard. I don't think that is ending anytime soon. It might still be that way in X+Y years. It might not.
