I changed to IT in late 20s after 7 months training (which honestly taught me nothing as this was my hobby since I was a kid) and I love my job every day. I work in O&G and actually I found a lot of the guys in the higher end infrastructure roles started on help desk here.

Like sclitheroe, if I wasn't working in tech, I'd be screwing around with tech anyway so for me the switch was an effort to make the skills I get from my hobby part of job and to bring more personal happiness and fulfillment which worked.

To the OP - why are you interested in tech as a career move from medical sales?
