I used to do the same - tried to read, attend training when available, and ask lots of questions... Until they outsourced most of IT to another country. Now I'm reading, trying to find free training, and still asking lots of questions ;) Don K

I’ve been in IT for almost 20 years (wow, that sounds like a long time) and the company I’m with is currently migrating to Exchange 2010, virtual machines, and upgrading our storage. I’m involved with all three projects. I don’t have the latest certifications, but I attend training when available, read, and ask lots of questions! From:Daniel Evensen [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, September 20, 2011 7:23 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: OT:Age Discrimination in IT Age Discrimination in IT: I have read several articles online that states that age Discrimination in IT is more prevalent than in other fields. Question, do you find this true or false? If you find it true how do you handle it? I am a former NT System Administrator that was semi-retired and that wants to return to the IT field after a 10 year absence. Financially, I do not need to work but want to. I feel that the fact my health at 52 is excellent, am at the right weight etc, will be a plus in my favor.
