What do you mean are you to old to change careers, your not dead are you?
Yiour never to old.
If its something that you want to do then go out and do it.
Good luck

Are you to Old?? That depends on your ability to be a good employee, which may or may not be affected by your age. Are you physically able to bend over, climb ladders, work from your knees, and other awkward things for 8 hours a day? Are you willing to start at the bottom of the ladder as far as wages and benefits? If you can do the above, show up reliably, and really try to learn to be helpful you will not have much trouble getting work! Try further down in the forum under help wanted, to see how eager companies are for people that they can count on and trust. A motto of mine has always been to do what feels right at the time, you can always change later if it was a wrong try. Not trying something that you want is the real goof - up in my opinion.
Have fun always DAN
