The best age to start your software career is usually 21 or 22. At this age, you can learn more about software testing and computer languages, while trying to land a job or an internship. From age 22 to 31, this period would be considered entry-level. Usually, people of ages 31-35 would have more experience in the field of software testing. So you may have to get some skills as soon as you get a degree from your college.
