Really, these days no one cares about anything else except whether you can get the job done.
I am 34 and consider myself to have 2 years of professional unix experience (with Linux mostly).
The only reason I feel I am here at my age is because I really enjoy it. You have to.
Other than that, you may feel uncomfortable with peers much younger than you so you have to be able to deal with that aspect.
Good luck.
p.s. I used to be a Science and Math teacher.
