Hi,
I am 25 years old, have an engineering degree from Delhi University and work in the IT industry and have a decent salary. Due to some personal problems, I could never give much thought about my career and kept going with the herd. However, over the years, i have realised that i am more interested in concepts and analysis. I find economics quite attracting and am thinking of pursuing a masters in economics and have started preparing for next year's entrance exams.
I want to know if my age or engineering background would be a hindrance in me getting a good research position or a job in the future even if i get through a good college? i feel afraid that i might find a lack of opportunities if i try to change my career line at this stage.
I am quite confused. I would be really grateful if people from the field could share their experience and advise about what i should do.
Many Thanks
