It’s never too late if it’s something you want to do :) Hell, I have a friend who’s 20 years into his DPhil taking it at a snails pace, but gives him accommodation when he’s in town for the pub. People talking about how much of a dent you’ll make within your PhDs field… almost definitely zero! Your thesis will probably be read by you, your supervisor, and viva board. You’re still a student and it’s a course on how to do research. It could be fun to dig deep into a subject and that’s a totally awesome reason to do one, making a significant change to your field is very very very unlikely.
