Your degree and what school you went to don't matter. What matters at this point is what you have accomplished. So what have you? If you have no publicly available proof of your work (open source, or web app, business ...) then get started. It is never too late. At the age you would be by now, people will judge you on your accomplishments. I am 41 and have a couple of small companies (30 employees total). For my education, I barely graduated from public high school. I had my sister write a special make up paper so I could pass French. Without that I would not have made it. I am married now to a professor. I go to many parties with academics, and they are mostly impressed with the fact that I am self employed. I am impressed with all the degrees and publications they have. Nobody asks me where I went to school because that is not relevant to figure out if I am successful or worth talking to. So to summarize - your place of education has an order of magnitude less importance than what you have accomplished. And the gap will get wider as you get older. So do something that people can see, and prove to the world that you are capable.
