I have worked 15 years and coded low-level, applications and ops. I've always kept an interest in this and keep a few side projects.
But I am not smart. Anyone could do this, given the right training.
If what you want in life is a science PhD, go get it. Anyone can do it. You may have to work more for it, but that's it.
Fortunately getting a doctorate doesn't have a hard deadline, or at least that's my impression (of course it may vary).
