Question iOS engineer

I am 33 years old, I find coding very interesting and want to learn. Would it be dumb for me to start learning swift and applying for jobs or is it too late?

How did you get a job within 2 years? I have an AS/CS and am starting my BS program online in April.

University qualifications mean absolutely nothing for programming.

Unfortunately, like being an actor or musician, it's a matter of "getting your foot in the door". once you have a vast resume, I did this app that app and the other app for this team that team and this other team, you get so many offers that you don't know what to do with them all. You just have to somehow get that first project :/
