Will I still qualify?

This is a tough one. I don't know what it is like in your area, but perhaps it might be easier there. The thing is, how do you get a good job without qualifying experience. At the same time, how do you get qualifying experience without a good job? Another thing is as faculty (especially teaching faculty) or a computer trainer, that takes one other skill. That is taking your own knowledge & successfully passing it on to others. There are many who know, but to teach someone, they're just not very capable of successfully having someone else know what they know. Age can also be a factor, because the older one gets, they usually feel that you may be unable to work because of the health problems as you get older. It also means less time that you would be working for a company that will hire you, because you're also that much closer to that age of retirement. Even then, employers don't see it that way, but that 21 year old usually ends up leaving after a couple of years for a better job that will pay them better.
