Relevant Technology Skills for Business

I have a very diverse background and have been exposed to numerous software packages. Accounting, database, programming, mapping and basic office packages are just a few that I have dealt with over the years. How much technology does one really need to function well in a business environment. Many management employees have limited tech skills, but there are other people for that? ... or are there? Should everyone be technologically literate or is technology training wasting company resources?

Aging Workforce Competitiveness

As an older student returning to college , I am wondering how much age discrimination there will be to look forward to. This is especially a concern, since I will be trying to sell myself as technologically savvy. I am hoping with an aging workforce employers will be more open minded to hiring individuals with experience and stability. Tips, thoughts, ideas???
