Programmer retired.

For several years I would have taken temporary web-site updating work from home.

For 40 years I was registered with numerous agencies and despite numerous contacts with them there were only ever two occasions when the contact was about jobs that were relevant to me. I would be phoned at all hours and weekends and asked if I had experience in things which it could be seen from my on-line CV I did not. I was regulalrly not contacted about jobs I saw advertised by those agencies that were relevant to me. Hardly any of the time I spent dealing with them for over 40 years was not and apparently could not have been of any value. Jobs I got were almost entirely through my own efforts.

There is a great deal of ageism in IT. You are likely to be considered too old and incapable of learning new skills at 30.
