Everything people say is correct, you can reinvent yourself. I hit 40 this year and was looking to make a career move but depending on your home situation may not be feasible. If I were to start again in a different field it would mean a dramatic pay cut to start at the bottom. There was no way to make a lateral move in a new field at the same pay I was making, so in the end I had no choice but to stay in my same field even though my passion was somewhere else. I do agree it's not too late but remember you'd be starting at the bottom again and do you have the time and patience to make it back to where you are now
