Topic: Career change

Dear member

I am an electronic engineer who was working in the security domain  dealing with CCTV, intruder alarm and Access control.

I want to change my career and go into embedded system and software engineer. I am thinking  of doing master degree in Embedded and distributed system at London South Bank University (http://prospectus.lsbu.ac.uk/courses/course.php?UCASCode=unknown&CourseID=4424)  because I feel comfortable with microcontroller , C++ programming and digital electronic in general.

I am 38 years old  and I got more than 5 years experience in electronic.

Do you think I am  choosing the right career path. Is there a lot of demand on software engineer and is the age mater in this kind of jobs.

Thank you for any input
