Late Blooming

Hello all, Just a question. My interest was in finance when I completed my MBA, but never landed in my dream job of pure Analysis. I never got the right opportunity and later, I started a family and have a 8 year old son. But deep inside the regret hit me so bad that I planned to give CFA a try in order to change my current job role. Whilst I do believe in late blooming, at 37, do I stand a chance against all the young talented people?
