How can a person in their late 50s enter the photography field?

I'm going to be 59 soon. I have a good eye for photography, but am nowhere near where I should be as a photographer. What are the odds of me becoming a photographer's assistant and entering the field of photography on my own.I'm thinking aboutGetting an entry part time or full time job to get trained.Build my own website for business. I'm sure there would be a nondisclosure agreement I would have to sign from the photographer who hired me to not take her clients.Learn how the digital camera worksGet the here needed to take professional photoshootsStart getting clients of my own.So would age be a factor? via /r/photography http://bit.ly/2GUZ4ts
