@Bitwise wow I wish lots of young devs (CS students, fresh grads, juniors) from my town share such passion. Hell I wish lots of people in my country to know and have such passion for something, anything.
Here most of us are just studying or working just for the sake of it. Not much passion is found. 😟 -
@Bitwise I'm sure you already have this idea 😬 after working for development experience you should consider doing something related with your previous job. An app, web service, anything that you found the industry and people will need.

Q: I'm [xx] years old [xyz] professional. Would that be a good idea if I try to change my career to software development right now?
A: Age is mostly doesn't matter. You can learn programming at any age. And, software is everywhere. Every background knowledge will be useful. Your prior knowledge will not be wasted.
But, should you change career?
- YES, if you deeply interested in programming.
- NO, if it's only because you feel there are better opportunities.
It's true that there may be better opportunities. But, without deep interest in the subject, you may struggle to become good software developer. Without being a good developer, your opportunities will be limited and you are likely to regret the decision.
Software development is easier for those who passionate but very difficult for those who doesn't....
