So you will be looking at starting a career at 45-50 years old.

I'm also not a doctor, but given those ages to start a career it would dissuade me. The reality is that a lot of us are going to work until we're 70-75. Not because we have no choice from a financial perspective, but because you can't just do nothing for what will be about a third of your life. I see this more and more from clients; they work and retire and then a year or two later are looking for work of some kind.
My point is that starting something like this a decade or two late doesn't sound ideal, but if you have 20-30 years of work left it might as well be working in a position you really want to.
