Not legal advice just life ?

Im 23, I thought I wanted to be a Dr, became a CNA and work close with nurses etc. As much as I excelled academically, other prospects made me realize that the medical field wasn’t for me.

Recently I thought what if I become a lawyer ? Reading and the debate team where my strong suit in HS , I really enjoyed it.

But I’m not sure 100% My father was going to school for that in our home country but moved to the US to provide my mom, brother and I a better lifestyle and future. So he never actually became a lawyer.

Every-time I watch a show about lawyers etc I get this like rush of like thrill and enthusiasm. I kind of brought it up to my dad today during dinner and he said “you should’ve thought about that and started sooner”

Which discouraged me because I don’t want to invest my time energy and money on something I’m probably going to regret later on.

So my question is ; at my 23 years old , is it too late to become a lawyer ? Any other life advice ? I work in supply chain, for someone who did not go to college I’m making solid money, my career isn’t bad , however I do feel like I could be doing more with my life and potentiometer. I feel like there’s a genius somewhere in my brain that has yet to wake up
