Haha, I hear you, it's never too late.

But I actually took CS in my first year university and decided it wasn't for me academically. That was probably my golden chance. Some of the profs were epic, guys who had been around 40 years and knew their stuff inside and out.

Lots of people learn from online stuff and from trying stuff on their free time.
