Yes, many people change carriers after 50. Hopefully you’d move up to a better career. It is illegal to ask about your age in an interview. I don’t recommend talking about your age, but mostly about your experience and skills.
DN Pach says "I don't recommend talking about your age," but age is something that cannot be hidden. I have basically aged out of teaching in private schools. Unfortunately, there are many misassumptions made about older teachers' technological abilities and pay grade desires. Even if I attempt to assuage the interviewer's concerns, I am still met with a certain wariness. All of that said, you can change careers, just make sure that you have properly set your expectations and use your networking skills to their maximum.
