So - I’ve had a 20 year career doing what I’ve loved - been successful, made a bit of money…but I can see the trajectory of this business is heading to the shitter. Also, it’s a young man’s game and I honestly, at this point, steady money, task orientation and security sounds pretty appealing.
Which brings me to my question. I have family in the Healthcare (analytics) side of the biz and they have mentioned starting with SQL…getting certified. I see there are boot camps, courses, etc. I’m really flexible - I can keep doing what I’ve been doing and take a course, go to school, etc. Even work an internship. Is SQL the right direction?
Is this viable? I would assume the biggest challenge would be having a 20 year gap in a resume…and on that note, how would you even present that? I have accolades in my current profession, but they obviously have nothing to do with coding…
Any help is much appreciated.
