Getting into full stack development at 50.

Hi guys,

I am looking for some honest views here.

Am deciding whether to start a level 5 course offered by Code Institute to get into tech in general, specifically full stack development at the age of 50!

Is it possible to get into tech, ie, full stack development or other areas of tech following on from this, such as aws, at 50 years of age?
Code Institute, perhaps unsurprisingly say age is no barrier, that it is irrelevant, however, is this really the case?

Would really appreciate any views on this. Is it possible to start a career in tech, in the areas mentioned at this age? Is there still scope for development? Without sounding crass, can you go on to earn the really good wages we hear about?

Should mention also, Bristol, UK, is the area, there are a lot of tech jobs here. Still, would very much appreciate any views people have on this.

Many thanks,
Kind regs,
Potential beginner, Bristol
