I've been reading a lot about age bias in IT hiring (i.e., if you're over 40, forget it) and am wondering if this is truly the case or not. I've been pondering using this time to get certified in Web technologies, but if I'm going to be rejected for employment because of my age, I'm not sure certification would be worth the time and effort.
