I'd like to encourage you but the reality is that as you get older your programming employment opportunities diminish. I would stay away from programming unless you plan to work as a consultant that's willing to find your own contracts and are able to plan and succeed that way.

Good project managers are always in demand at any age. You might want to look at that but the stress factor in that position is high. You have to deliver projects on time but you often get little power to demand it so you have to have the right personality to get your team to deliver. Good luck!
