It's never too late to learn a programming language.
Some job seekers who are older may initially doubt their ability to
learn coding because of a lack of experience or fear of employment bias.
But, the reality is that learning a new skill takes time and dedication,
no matter your age.
You may want to learn coding for various reasons, including
if you're seeking a career change, navigating an unexpected layoff,
or returning to work after an extended absence.
A 2017 UC San Diego survey of adults
aged 60 and older found that 14% learned to code for their job, 9% to
improve their job prospects, and 22% to make up for missed opportunities when they were younger. While it
may appear daunting at first, many coding resources exist for beginners.
