This is off a bit but most of these comments are so here goes.
I have long felt that the Internet, and thus all things web such as web servers, will be the model for interstellar space exploration and colonization. For example, a hub/switch/gateway representing docking stations or actual communication outposts.
So Microsoft being a big influence now would naturally enter into this equation and make its presence felt in this future manifestation.
So if you don't want to have your grandchildren working in crystal mines in the bowels of some moon wearing MS overalls...

Really, these days no one cares about anything else except whether you can get the job done.
I am 34 and consider myself to have 2 years of professional unix experience (with Linux mostly).
The only reason I feel I am here at my age is because I really enjoy it. You have to.
Other than that, you may feel uncomfortable with peers much younger than you so you have to be able to deal with that aspect.
Good luck.
p.s. I used to be a Science and Math teacher.
