Hi Friends I need your valuable time to give me suggestion about my career.?

Question

I am in a fix about my Career, your few mints can change my Life.

I am 35 years old, working in an Export House for last 14 years, I joined here as Computer Accountant, but after 9 years accounts were shifted to Head Office so I was assigned to see the Garments Productions as a merchandiser in Delhi, but the company is going on very low production, I have hardly handel 3 or 4 productions in a year. 

I am not an Accountant (As I dont like this field though i worked 9 years in this field)

I am not a Merchandiser (As I have not much experience)

I want to switch my career to IT Field, I want to be System Administrator or System Analyst and want to earn handsome salary package. 

But after completion of my course I would be considered as a Fresher in IT Industry, so i will get 8 to 10K Salary.Which is very low for a person of my Age. 

Is there any field in IT Industry where a Fresher can get 15-20K per month at starting level. 

Is it ok to switch career at the age of 35?

Is there any field in IT industry where a Fresher can get $15-20K per month starting?  Maybe, it depends on how valuable your skills are perceived by a potential employer, who you know, and how you present yourself.  Your future employers want to be able to easily answer three questions:
1. Can this person do the job I am hiring them for?
2. Will they do it and make enough money for the company so I can pay them $15-20K per month and make a profit for the company too?
3. Do I like this person?
If the answer is yes to these 3 questions, then yes a fresher can make that kind of money.

Yes, it is OK to switch careers at any age, provided you have a plan on how to successfully do it.

I don't know anything about the salary of the field you want to get into, but I just want to say that it is never too late to switch careers!!!  You can do what ever you set your mind to - now and for always.  Don't ever believe otherwise - its when you stop believing in yourself that makes it impossible.  Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving!

Your career is upto you ,but one thing I want to advise you is always Invest some portion of your income in a good mutual fund by SIP,so in case you want to retire early or your career is not going as well as planned,you will always have a hefty portion to fall back on,
