I'd say most people start their "career" around 30. Some people stick with the choice they made in their 20s while some people need to figure out something else. There is little pressure to make money or stabilize when you are 23, or 24. When you start your 30s you are more under that pressure and that's when you start to figure out how to make money. Bear in mind, I am only 32. > -Is there any hope for someone like me? Yes?! > -Is there any reasonable path to starting over? Just start in anything in this industry or else. > -Where do I even begin? Getting a job in something that interests you is a good idea. Getting to college is another idea. Getting a job overseas (if you are American) is also another idea. > -Will tech co’s ever consider hiring someone like me? Don't focus on specific people or groups. Figure out which people need your skill-set and start from there.
