Thinking about starting a career in IT at 40, 50, or even 53? In this video, I break down why age is NOT a barrier in tech — skills and problem-solving are what really count.

Here’s what you’ll learn:
✅ Why networking is still the foundation of IT
✅ How the CCST can build your confidence as a first step
✅ When to move on to CCNA, Linux, or Cloud certifications
✅ Practical advice if you’re starting your IT journey later in life

⚡ Remember: it’s never too late to start in tech. Whether you’re looking to change careers or grow your skillset, networking knowledge gives you the foundation to branch into cloud, cybersecurity, or beyond.
