I did my MFE with Andy. I was 33 and it was a great experience. However, I agree with Andy's last sentence.It's hard to say. I got a sweet ROI with my MFE at 32 but I know plenty of folks that got negative returns regardless of their age.
I did MFE years ago and it can be argued that MFE is no longer a good investment.
As I recall, someone wrote an article on QN a few years ago about the coming glut of financial engineers...
Apparently, if you enter "age" into the search box (top right) and select Search title only, the results would be the exact answer you are asking for.Hi ,
Whats the average age of students doing financial engineering?
Thanks!

upgrade your technical skills. heavy data crunching, sql, C++, big data tools, etc.I have MBA, CFA, worked in big accounting firms in valuations and do some of the "complex" valuation, albeit nothing that can't be done with Excel.
I am a decade older. [...] Like you I would like to work into my late 60s or even beyond. I love computer science and finance.

If you don't have solid software skills you are going to have a hard time getting a job in finance, by the way. All of the jobs that I've seen require solid skills in C++ and/or Java.

I can say the same thing about COBOL.
