55 to 60. But to be honest, I love where i work and don't see my self retiring. Unless I am physically unable to carry on. Yeah I'd be fine with being that 70 year old codger who drinks coffee all day.
Id consider taking an intro coding class at a local community college while working to see what your aptitude is. In the meantime you can keep tabs on how this H1B freeze develops.
I taught myself PLC's and rebuild multi-million dollar servo controlled robots. I can handle code. However, What I don't know is if i will be able to handle whiny millennial co-workers. when I think about moving to the desk side of things vs code side, I think its going to come down to people. I appreciate adults who have participated in the work force. The young folks with programming jobs are terrible to deal with in contrast to military vets (most of who we hire). But that could be only representative of where I work.
You said you'd like to stay with your company until you retire. If you have an actual interest in learning to code, by all means, do it. But I'd recommend doing it on your own time while you continued your current job. There are many online resources available. The free edX classes are a good starting point. But I wouldn't do it unless you're actually interested in it. Assuming you develop some proficiency coding, you can let your company know you're interested in moving into a coding oriented job. If they're not interested, you can start interviewing with other companies. The bottom line is that it's never wrong to develop new skills and see where they take you, but don't make the mistake of locking yourself into a job that you can't stand to do.
Sorry my fren. Myself, I left Corp and started my own business. It's not easy won't lie. But, Universe is telling you to step up! Shit, guarantee you'll exceeded me. And I hope ya do!
Oh I'm not scared or worried. I'm just kind of wandering that if Bollywood moves it's operation back to India. That "learn to code" might be the right answer.
My wife is a Geologist who is wrapping up her masters in hydrology and water quality this fall. I have one kid. She is 20 and lives at home, a pre-med student at the University of Florida. Neither ones school is paid for with loans, all upfront on registration day. I could retire at 54 and live comfortably.
I chose option 2. The other options are work. Plus we need more people at their office computer uptrumping new all day.
🤔🤔
😂😂😂😂👌
First, thank you for your service. Secondly, what age were you looking to retire?

Just my 2 cents

I say go for it then. Hopefully you won’t have to work too much with Harry Potter men children or Disney adults.
I’m a millennial but was raised by a hardass father. I’d like to say these weak manlets are over represented, but that’s probably a lie.
