I was in the same boat that you are, I received by BS in Computer Science at 34. I found that my age was actually an advantage when I went on interviews. I was a bit more relaxed and the employers seemed to like that fact that I was more mature. They seem to think that if you are mature you are less likely to miss work due to partying. That you have your priorities straightened out. It seems that the trend in IT is outsourcing, but you may find that the Government sector may be a safe bet for putting your degree to work.
