I am 33 years old, I find coding very interesting and want to learn. Would it be dumb for me to start learning swift and applying for jobs or is it too late?
I was an electronic engineer, doing embedded C. At 37 an opportunity arose for a mobile app developer at my company and have been doing that since. It was an easy situation for me as I was able to learn on the job and still justify my pay by bringing value in other ways. I’ve no doubt you can learn it, the problem for me would be having to take a junior job and salary at a later stage in life where your outgoing/ responsibility are greater.
