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.

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.
