Age limit???

[Infinitum7]

Hello everyone,

I have been interested in game design for a very long time. I have always wanted to go into the field, but because the schools were prohibitively expensive, I never really saw any avenue. Recently, though, I have begun taking 3ds Max classes and will try to enter grad school for animation. However, I am 26, and my professor tells me that I am rapidly approaching an age deadline after which it will be difficult to find a job. Is this true? Is there an age limit? I am 26, but is this too late?
