Over 50 and employable

I have been in Management role that evolved into an HR at my last three positions. I had been applying to positions online. I have been self taught due to projects in my field in systems like MS Teams, Sharepoint etc. my daughter is a college student and has been doing a lot of online classes due to Pandemic. She said she’s basically teaching herself these days and utilizes UTube and google. I started looking outside the box and typed these programs in and searched positions and took some online free courses and have landed a position with the a company that handles Department of Defense Projects. HR seems to have high turnover 1-3 years. Time to evolve into the IT era and there are so many positions in this field. Learn on your own and make yourself indispensable . Over 50 and still employable! Just waiting my security clearance!
