Re: too old for college? I'm confused :(

I did a Bachelor of Information Technology majoring in Business Software Development (Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia). I entered into a company as part of a Graduate Recruitment program and was in an Application/DBA support role for a year. Then for the last 3 years I been perfoming a DBA role.

Cheers,
