If you are in technology, you are ALWAYS RETRAINING. My skill set turns over every few years.
I'm 46 and learning care of an apache/mysql/php setup. One year ago, I started serious wrestling with Windows 7. Two years ago, I picked up Powershell and dived into following smartphones. Three years ago, I picked up some SQL, lots of radiology technology, and VBA scripting. I keep up on Linux and Mac. I read about 30 tech related RSS feed per day. Keeping up with your field is part of being a professional.
