job opportunity

R

I always like programming in C++, assembly language, microprocessor and digital electronic in general.
For the last 5 years I been working ( out fo my control) as electronic engineer for a security comapany involving CCTV, audi/video bug and tracking device. However my job hasn't been what I always wanted to do.
I just find a Master degree in Embedded and distrubuted system (http://prospectus.lsbu.ac.uk/courses/course.php?UCASCode=unknown&CourseID=5773) which will refresh my memory about what I have been very good in the past at uni.
I am 39 years old and if by the time I take the course and finish it, I will be 41 year.
Do you think, It is well in demand that I can get a job after finishing my master.
Or does any one has been in similair situation where the age has been an issue?

Thanks(up)
