Is 50 years old too late to get a bachelor's degree in accounting for employment purposes?

After I wrote that I realized how dumb it sounded. But to clarify, at my age, and not particularly looking like the accountant type since I have been driving a truck for most of my life, off and on, I wonder what type of employment opportunities would open up for me. I would venture to say that companies hiring entry level accountants would want a smart, young, professional looking college student. Why would they want an worn out looking dud like me? I really enjoy reading about finance, and stock fundamentals. Accounting principles seems to be the area of stock picking that I enjoy the most.
