You can listen to the "Advice" on the World Wide Web, or follow your heart. I made a career change at 33 yrs old and I'm glad I did. I will never be a Major Widebody Captain, but I'm content with my choice. Good luck to the younger guys, time was not on my side. My early twenties (1980's) was a sad time for aviation. Ten years to start the hiring boom that I was swept up in. I promise you, that if you follow your heart, you will not kick yourself in the arse when you retire. Only people who don't try what they really want, will kick themselves. Good Luck.
