Alright, I'm thinking about trying to get into coding/web design

I'm 40 already so starting a career in networking is kinda a stretch. Might be better to just learn to code at this point.

What do you think?

Networking vs Coding for older dudes trying to make a living?

I'm asking how do I find that information on the computer do I use the ipconfig/all command?

No offense bruh, but if you cant use google to figure out that answer, your going to have a tough time in IT.

Thanks for replying I need help completing these last two questions:

1. What is the name of the network domain that your computer is a member of?
2. Can you change the domain membership on your computer? if not, why?

1. Domain will show at the login screen or under System properties
2. You need to be a domain admin (or equivalent delegated rights) and have local admin rights to that computer.

I'd say it's less about age and more about whatever you're more naturally inclined to take an interest in and be good at.

That said, it'll probably be a bit easier to get your foot in the door with coding/web design since you pretty much either know it or you don't. As far as networking, experience trumps all and you'd probably have to start out in a helpdesk/desktop support position and work your way up to networking. No company is really trying to let someone with no experience into their server room or comm closet.

It's pretty much about what you like to do. Do you like coding or do you like networking? Whichever one you have more passion for, that's the one you need to go for. If you don't like coding, then it's probably not something you want to spend time on because you HAVE to know what you're doing. On the other hand, if you love it, you'll spend hours messing around with it on your own time. Do you have a passion for cultivating the ability to develop your own software?

Coding pays more, because a lot of IT heads don't fukk with it. It's more tedious work but if you can master it enough to hold your own you can make a lot of money. I taught myself HTML because I didn't want to pay someone to build a website. Thinking about getting back into coding and I'm 37

going through the html head first second edition book, this is holding my interest more than learning the ccent did. I think mostly because I don't have any live cisco routers and I couldn't grasp subnetting and so forth.

Still having faith.

Good thing about IT there's really not a age barrier

Actually there is but depending on the speciality. Networking definitely is as you'll look weird starting off at my age when everyone is much younger than you. Coding may be a little more suitable since you're mostly hidden away or you work from home depending on skills experience.

One old dude does desktop support here and he well into his 50s but it doesn't happen often. It throws out
