Would I still be an employable first-time Management Accountant at 34/35 years old?

Would I still be an employable first-time Management Accountant at 34/35 years old?
I wish to study for a CIMA qualification, though if takes 4 years to complete as generally anticipated, I would likely be 34 years old by the time I qualified. In such a competitive field, would I still be considered favourably for employment at that age, or are companies likely to go for younger professionals in their mid to late twenties. I just thought IĆ¢€™d gauge an honest opinion before embarking on such a huge commitment. Thanks.

Two words. Age discrimination. You do not have to tell them your age. There is no reason why a 34 year old shouldn't be employable as a first time Management Accountant. If you suspect there is any kind of discrimination going on, then you have rights and lots of them. Good for you... Go for it. :-) x
