It's your life. Follow your dreams, as they say. 15 years is a good long time. I am well over a decade older than you and I'm planning my next career after I retire in 10-ish years. I'll throw another tip in here: stay in excellent physical shape. It'll help fight any perceived ageism that comes along. I by no means look young: I am wrinkled and my head is very salt-and-pepper and my beard is pretty much white at this point. But I am in excellent shape - better perhaps all of my peers. And so the ageism thing doesn't seem to be an issue. As a bonus, you'll enjoy life more and probably live longer. STAY FIT. In a few years, it'll get much harder to do so.
