Dear Sidelined But Still Hopeful: At 66 I was able to avail myself of a free computer coding boot camp because there was a need to add age diversity to the cohort, so being a senior worked out to be an advantage. It was a pivotal experience because it changed the course of my life. Through this process I discovered LinkedIn which has turned out to be a widely used, read and fertile hiring platform. I recommend it for anyone seeking growth through new employment opportunities. It really is a whole new world out there!
