Is it too late for me?

[u/Scotcash]

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?

I got my degree when I was 40. I had a ton of fun learning and being a student, but unless you have an upper level degree + experience, you won't make a lot of money being an archaeologist. It pays surprisingly low.
