room for rookies (Score 1)

I am 29 years old and need to get a job, I want to go to school for some computer programming, and at least at this point it is because I enjoy it. Is there going to be a place for an fairly inexperienced 30 year old guy. I don't expect to rule the world , and I know it will probably amount to whatever I make it, but I was just looking for some feedback from some /.'ers After reading articles like this, it seems that maybe the job market is shrinking.
