well, if you would put a contact information in your https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=rburgosnavas HN profile (in the about field) i would contact you for a freelance project (if you do freelance).

i recommend to stop seeing age as an obstacle, see it as an asset - what did you work before? see your new programing experience in context of your previous work experience.

note: i'm 35, i love starting over

Thanks for the tip about updating my profile. Sure, I would be interested in freelance. Like a lot of people have mentioned, it would be a great opportunity to get the exposure and knowledge I need.

I currently work for a non-profit as a "database administrator" which actually translates to MS Access manager, and I do other things like update their website, edit, write, etc. I've been able to use a lot of the skills I learned from my MySQL classes with Access, and web development from doings lots of Google searches about PHP, CSS, etc.
