I also know someone who moved from a janitorial job to IT successfully. He was around 33 or 34 i think. We worked together for a bit at an old employer of mine. He didn't pass probation at that place, mainly due to a boss who was demanding to say the least. However last i heard he had no trouble finding another position and is now a support desk team leader.
One thing you will know if you have been in IT for a while. If you are simply competent and care about the work you are already miles ahead of most of your peers. The IT Ops/Support teams i know that support high availability zero downtime (as close to as possible) systems have staff that are mostly over 30. These are of course established businesses, not startups formed by some college friends.
