I always like programming in C++, assembly language, microprocessor and digital electronic in general.
For the last 5 years I been working ( out fo my control) as electronic engineer for a security comapany involving CCTV, audi/video bug and tracking device. However my job hasn't been what I always wanted to do.
I just find a Master degree in Embedded and distrubuted system (http://prospectus.lsbu.ac.uk/courses/course.php?UCASCode=unknown&CourseID=5773) which will refresh my memory about what I have been very good in the past at uni.
I am 39 years old and if by the time I take the course and finish it, I will be 41 year.
Do you think, It is well in demand that I can get a job after finishing my master.
Or does any one has been in similair situation where the age has been an issue?

Thanks(up)

Quote From VaiBabe:

It's obvious that if you were overqualified with an honours degree, you will be even more overqualified with a higher degree such as a Masters.

Is that a rule then?

I am not talking about me or specific job but I am talking generally and may be some people been in the same situation who can talk about their experience.

Hi every one :-)
I remember a long time a go I went for an interview for a intruder alarm, CCTV and access control job and when I showed my bachelor honour degrees in electronic my interviewer told me that I was over qualified for the job. This was a degree diploma so what about if it was a master degree?
Thanks for reading

To this time when I am writing this email there were 43 person who read the thread and zero post.:-(
Was the question difficult to answer or was it too silly.
Come on people give us your opinion. Some one must have been in the same situation or knows about some one else.
Thanks

Career change in London UK

Quote From Sue2604:

Hi Rabmerab

I don't know about your profession or your area of study, but I reckon if you want a career change, go for it. I'm also older and trying to change careers. While I also have concerns that my age may count against me, I'm hoping that my general work experience, and now my studies and all the work I've done associated with my PhD will help me get a new research job. I think if you feel the need for a change, then it is a risk, but sometimes we need to take risks in life. Does the idea of not going for a new career and staying in your old job seem intolerable? If it does, then make the change. Life's too short to wonder about paths we didn't take - be brave and go for it!

Hi Sue

Thanks for the reply and the encouragement.

Career change in London UK

Hell o folks,
I am working as electronic engineer ( around £16000.00/year) for nearly 5 years.
It use to be very exciting but lately I feel like I am losing time and knowledge comparing to my old mates from university. I am 38 years old and I am not getting younger.
I am trying to change career. I enrol in master degree course studying Embedded and distributed system at university because I am familiar and comfortable which the subject.
I have to leave my job even it is not really the right time to be jobless ( I need to be working any how for the next 03 month at least). My boss doesn’t l want to let me have one day off to do master.:-s

I want to do this master so much but I am just worried when after spending money and effort and get my master don’t get a job in the same domain because of my age.
Ideally for me is do this master next year but the age is my concern.
My question, is there a big demand for this discipline and is the age a major factor when it come to select a candidate for the job.
I would like to thank any one who help even by just reading.
