I feel this way about careers. I always remind myself that Morgan Freeman got into acting in his sixties, and Alan Rickman left his successful design firm to go into acting and had a really hard time of it for years until Die Hard. But most of the stories I've always heard were things like "well I've been in acting classes since I was three, I always wanted to be an actor, I was in plays all through my school years and got my degree in theater." (I use acting as an example because it's a hard profession to break into and there are famous examples of people who succeeded - I don't know examples of, say, people who decided to open up a restaurant late in life or who decided to abandon marketing for accounting or something.)
I've been raised on this terrifying idea that you're supposed to know what you want to do for the rest of your life when you're twenty, and you should have been working on it since high school or college at the latest. People switch careers late in life all the time and it's never too late to get trained, but so many people act like starting a career as an older person is a fool's game because what you're *supposed* to do is get in on the ground floor at 20 and then work your way up the ladder for your whole life and reap the benefits of life-long employment.

Life is never over until it's over, and most people who say that high school is the best years of your life are full of shit.

Morgan Freeman got into acting in his 60s? What was he doing on The Electric Company in the 1970s?

Well shit, now I feel stupid. I was totally misinformed.
I double checked and Alan Rickman definitely got his first film role at 46 with Die Hard but yeah, Freeman was acting in his thirties.
