Possible to be an Accountant at 40 years old?

Is 40 too late to begin a career in accounting?

No, but be prepared to have a boss that might be 10-15 years younger than you.

Not at all, I am 36 and just finishing up my B.A. in Accounting. When you are older you are more determined. Not sure yet about the CPA part that might be too ambitious for me. The economy is so bad right now alot of people have been going back to school.
