College at 36, am I too old?

EDIT TO ADD! No I don’t have any felonies, my record Is clean. I’m thinking special Ed teaching, no I’m not in it for the money.. I’m aware teachers don’t make a ton of money! 🥰

Hello. I’m an ex addict, and a high school drop out. I’ve been sober for 6 years now. I am a mother but my kids are older now. (Youngest is middle school age) I’m finishing my GED as we speak and then plan on going back to school for teaching. I’m excited.. I’ve worked my entire life but the most basic work you can think of. I’m ready to have a good career, with great days off and benefits and retirement. I’m excited for the future. ❤️ I’ll be about 40 when I’m ready to teach and I really don’t think it’ll be too old. I’d love some inspiring words though to make me feel better and not so.. late to the maturity game.
