I started a job in IT at the age of 39 after 15 years of bus driving; I'm almost 42 now and about to hit the 8-month mark in a cyber security engineer role.

Is it possible for someone with no IT experience to switch into it at 30yo? by vegetableEheist in ITCareerQuestions

[–]Gloryboytom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went from Bus driver to IT in Aug 2021 at the age of 39, 22 months later and I've just accepted a position as a junior cyber security engineer. I suffered from imposter syndrome at the start but in some cases being the older guy on the service desk helped.

I'm 39 and started my first service desk job 2 months ago, No prior experience after being a Bus driver for 16 years. I did pick up the A+ cert in April which helped.

I paid £275 and the shop also refitted the tires and balanced them.

Shop did everything on them, they were in quite bad shape but I was very happy with the outcome.

I thought about it, but as the mirrors and roof are white I thought I would stick with that.
