It's a pretty bad idea to change careers in your mid 30s if you plan on being average at it.

No one “plans” on being average just like I’m sure a lot of software engineers “plan” on graduating from college working for BigTech and adjacent and making $160K+ straight out of college and not working for “Billy Bob’s Fish Tackle and Wordpress shop” making $50K.
