I know much more about magazines than I do about book publishing. Magazines require aggressive self-marketers, bootstraping staff that create a new product month after month. University is less important than relationships and the ability to get the job done for many publishers in some career roles, I don't think its too late at all because at your age work experience just barely trumps education.

Since your interested in self publishing you might enjoy the custom divisions of the bigger publishing houses in the UK, my favorite one is John Brown - which one does custom titles for clients who wish to is a magazine / book to represent their brand. John Brown did the Nike magazine, Ikea's magazine, and countless others.

Good luck, and remember its never too late!
