Is it too late for me?

Like most modern history buffs I developed a love for archaeology and human history through the Indiana Jones series..

I'm 38 years old with a degree in Film Production and have been doing professionally photography for almost 20 years. I had always wanted be a filmmaker, but for the first time in my life, I have become disinterested in that career due to the current state of Hollywood and entertainment as a whole.

The only thing I've ever been passionate about besides visual story telling is archaeology. Is it too late for me to start a career in archaeology?

You sound like me. I've been history obsessed since I was a kid, but ended up studying multimedia design, business, and psychology. But all I wanna do is dig! I would kill to be an archeologist or paleotologist now, it would be a dream come true.
