I changed from Telcom to banking about 9 years ago.  I am in my late 40s now.
Lots of schooling to become a security officer and IT manager of an even more regulated industry. 
(I did not think that was possible coming from telcom) But I have learned a lot but I have to say going back to school at my age was not fun like it was when i was young.  The photo graphic memory was gone so I had to take lots of notes and I was not always top of the class like I as in my younger days so that was an ego hit as well.
 
But in the end I would say for me it was well worth it I enjoy my new work work in a new field  and I am considering a new change in a near future as banking is getting stale.
 
Best of luck with what ever you choose.  :)

I'm not going to advise you ,... just wish you luck

 
 Your no fun. Advise already, darn it.
 

Then why aren't you offering advice Xray?
 
If you want to pursue a new career option and you're interested then I say, "Why not?". 
 
 

When we were younger...we approached things with "no fear".  Keep that mindset and you will conquer anything.  Good luck with the change...

 
Go for it. I did a big change in my early 30's.. was also working for Telecommunication company and making very good money, but there was no opportunity for growth. Enrolled myself in college (I had been to college at age 18-19 but never completed), ended up with 2 degrees both with honors, started working in Forensic Audit about 8-9 years ago and haven't looked back. The work really is not my 'hearts desire' in any way, but it helps pay the bills. I've also been a builder, painter, years in retail banking, a few years in the surfing industry (making surfboards, but not a shaper)... what have you got to lose vs what have you got to gain?
 

Life it too short. Don't be afraid to fail.
