Of course this is only anecdotal (and probably not 1:1 applicable as I live in Switzerland), but I studied together with a couple people who finished in their 40s and 50s. Around half of them now work as architects, some wound up in adjacent fields and one is currently trying to get her own office going.
That’s good to hear! I assume there will always be someone at a similar age/experience level in most things.
I think the adjacent fields area is one that will probably end up applying.
