Can someone have any chances of becoming a model at age 34?

I've always dreamed of becoming a model and I'd love to make this dream come true one day. I want this more than anyhting, but I didn't have a chance yet. I actually look 24 and better than ever, blond hair, green eyes, 5'10''... Thank you for your advice/ opinion.

not to burst your bubble, but if you are looking to do high fashion and or runway, print, etc, you are out of the age range. the fact you think you look 24 isnt really helpful; they will know your age and will not book you. also, you didnt list your size and measurements. these are one of the most important elements and if your propotions arent just about, if not, perfect, you wouldnt get signed even if you were ten years younger (and quite honestly even age 24 is too late to get started in modeling). i actually started modeling when i was 18 years old and was told "youre a little old to be just starting out, huh?" by one designer. im lucky enough to still be working at age 26, but im guessing i will be retired by age 28 (however, im in medical school now so i dont work as much as i used to). its a brutal business, and even though most careers have an "if you can dream it, you can do it" mantra attached to them, modeling isnt one of them. if you dont have the genes, nubility, etc etc etc, it wont happen. you could try commercials or ads for products that focus on an age group closer to yours, if you can act and have a commercial look possibly, though
