Did you know there's a shortage of Tech Workers in the US? Well I had no idea this was an issue and honestly never gave a tech career much thought because I don't have a work background in tech. I've always heard tech workers earn big bucks but the thought of going back to school at this point in time in my career just isn't practical move; besides I've always been a little intimidated of technology. Well, seems like now you don't need a four year college degree to get a high paying tech job. Big companies are turing to coding boot camps, community colleges, and career education programs for candidates to fill these jobs due to the shortage of workers. Anyone here ever have any success transitioning into a tech job without a related degree or formal college tech training? https://www.cnbc.com/2017/11/07/why-ibm-wants-to-hire-employees-who-dont-have-a-4-year-college-degree.html

As a 60 year old in the tech industry I'm am one of the most frequent complainer of age discrimination in our industry. Yet today I blatantly age discriminated against a counter person at McDonald's. I recently downloaded the MCD app on my smartphone and thought I would use one of the app's QR Codes Coupons for a discount on my lunch meal. I walked into the store and saw to counter people waiting to take customer's orders. One was a lady likey in her 70's and the other a millennial. I of course opted for the millennial thinking she would certainly be much more capable of processing a QR coupon. How wrong I was. The millennial tried several times to process the QR Code with no success. She finally called over her 40 something supervisor. He struggled for a couple of minutes with no success. The 70 something cashier came over to help pushed a few buttons and voila problem solved. The long and short of the story is even when we think we're non biased we probably are.

I applied and was called back to interview for an systems analyst position with a big insurance company. When I arrived there were already other applicants waiting to be interviewed for the same position. A HR rep came in and led us into a big conference room then started talking about telemarketing, positioning policies, licensing, closing strategies, and commission. Basically everything you would expect to be doing in a telemarketing sales job but absolutely nothing to do with the analyst job we thought we’d be interviewing for. After the presentation some of us started asking about the systems analyst job posting we applied for. The HR rep went into how signing up clients is akin to analyst role. Everybody ended up walking out of the room. I didn’t expect a big reputable insurance company would be pulling a bait and switch scam. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

I have about 6-7 years of Linux administration experience, mostly short-term gigs, 6-month to an year long. Some of the companies are well-known names, but some of my experience is outside of the US. I suspect that the trouble I'm having landing a job in relatively good job market (Boston) is because the employers and recruiters are reluctant to hire/trust someone with mostly short-term gigs. Is there a way to overcome this or maybe it is something else I'm not doing right? Thank you.

I want to make a change from manufacturing and labor intensive jobs to more computer related jobs like tech support but I don’t have the required years of experience to qualify. I haven’t seen any entry level or willing to train job opening in this area. How can I get experience to qualify for these jobs?
