I don't think anybody will hire you approaching age 60 for any
entry-level position in a software field of that type.  At that age you
should be well beyond "entry-level" and that you're looking for such a
position is indicative that there's a problem.

As I've said before I think you need to figure out how to use what you
were trained in.
