With a Computer Science Degree, an Old Man At 35?

GrApHiX42 writes "I pissed away my 20s and now I want to go to school and get a bachelor's degree in computer science. The thing is, I'll be 35 when I get out of school, and I've read on numerous sites that there seems to be some ageism going on in the IT industry when it comes to older geeks. What have some of the 'older' Slashdot readers experienced as far as being replaced or just plain not getting hired because IT is a 'young man's game'?"

    If you allow for multipliers 0=x=1, then your statement is vacuous and should not have been stated. If not, then prove your assertion.
