Am I too old to become a CNA

Hello everyone. I am a 41 year old male who has worked in a industrial plant for 22 years. Due to economic issues the plant is closing down and I was told that my last day will be June 10th. Although I have been looking, There is no work here in this small town in Wyoming. This leaves me wondering what to do and where to go with only a GED to back me up. My daughter who lives in Newport Oregon suggested that I relocate to Newport and take one of the free CNA classes there. My question is "Am I too old" to start a career as a CNA? Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated.
