I started a Degree in CS in 1988 (49yo) which for various reasons I never completed. For the last 25 years I've been working in IT support (Last 23 with the one firm). Now days I'm part of the small team managing storage and compute for our private cloud system with ~200 virtual servers. Along with many other SysAdmin roles.
But I'm back trying to get in to code. Trying to get the CS degree. Learning on my own. Just not sure about the actual step of changing jobs.
