If you are going into it with your eyes wide open then "Go for it"
I am 37 next month and am off down the modular route in December.
I do have the distraction of a 7 year old daughter but even she is behind me on this one.
Finances might be a problem as I will probably need to keep enough set aside for a TR at the end of it all.
Someone a lot cleverer than me once wrote:-
"Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something is more important than fear. The brave may not live forever but the cautious do not live at all"
Just be careful and have a back up employment plan (if not FI) while you are waiting for that elusive first job.
