Kapatid, palagay ko ay walang magiging epekto ang edad sa kahit na anong trabaho o propesyon, except when age is a necessary consideration... Para sa akin kasi, you have to:
be like a Sword - in maintaining your cutting edge thru continuing training, education & other means of improvement
be like Wine - as you get better with age and by maximizing your experience to your advantage
be like an Ink - in making sure you stand-out and leave your mark/impresssion and that your contributions/accomplishments are recognized
be like a Tiger - in ferociously and decidedly jumping into an opportunity when it presents itself
be like a Chameleon - in always adapting to the ever changing work/business environment. If you don't adapt/change - you'll perish!
be part of a Herd - by acting in unison, be a teamplayer in achieving synergistic results towards a common goal & maintaining harmonious relationship
In short, be like a SWITCH - you should be in control and have the discipline to maintain it.
These are my very own words :twocents: in guiding myself, my family and in dealing with those who, i had & currently have the opportunity to work with...
As for luck... not to be rude but pls see my sig...
:Off-Topic2: I love numbers and have decades of experience. Pero sa totoo lang, i'm actually now in the midst of exploring/learning IT stuff to supplement/complement what i love and have no qualms doing it because for me, that's part & combination of "S" and "C" above.
So, to address the thread title: "maximum age for IT (or whatever) professionals", as long as you're fit enough to observe the above, i believe there is none...
