Am I too old?

[LittleLamb999]

Is it too late to change career at 38?

I'm 38 years old and stuck in a job I don't like.

I want to work as a nutritional therapist, I'm passionate about food and how it affects our overall health and life, but I'm thinking that I'm maybe too old to start that now; by the time I finish an accredited course could be at least 3 years from now.

I know it would make me a lot happier if I could have success in this field.

Am I too old? Has anyone done similar? Any stories/advice to share?

I'm feeling quite low at the feeling of have made a wrong choice on my 20s and now being stuck on a job I can't bare anymore (I work in IT, btw). It feels like "game over, this it it, suck it up"

If you are sure there will always be work available go for it then - definitely not too old, that isn't an issue while you still have 30 years of working ahead of you! Training for 3 years for a job there is no demand for would be an issue regardless of age though!
