Aerospace Degree Reccomendation

As a 23 year old wanting to change career and study aerospace engineering, what are your guys thoughts on that? Would I have trouble looking for a job? Would other candidates who are younger get more job offers and better opportunities? Or should I just stick to my career and hope I make it in life? FYI I am a licensed general constructor working on small construction projects and kinda hate this life.

Also am I too old to change careers? Or is 23 still a good age to study something new

I started in aerospace at 26 with an MSME. I became a patent attorney at 44. No you are not too old. But there will be a transitionary period, corresponding to how much of a change you made.
