It seems software engineers struggle to find new employment by age 35

[dbug]

It seems software engineers struggle to find new employment by age 35. Can I work as a software engineer at age 50+ without moving to management? What options are there with a computer science degree?

This is true. This is the mentality of Sri Lankans. In other countries even you can retire as a software engineer. I am in management side and still would like to move back to technical side. But that is not a possibility as at now.

i may add asp.net web forms and sql to this list. as well as vb 6. those guys have no future what so ever. and they didn't realize until there is a requirement of new job. i strongly tell you guys to continuously look at the top jobs not for a job but to see latest technologies in use as well as be in stackoverflow every day to fill the gaps
