Most of the industry veterans are your age or older at the start of theie careers. I just hit 30 myself earlier this year and I feel like i've just begun a breakthrough. If anything i've started caring less about what others think and want to get good for myself. Of course you have to look at it somewhat realistically if you want to make a career out of it, but if it's a hobby then there's even less pressure for you, just take your time learning.
