I am 26 years old with a technical certificate in mechatronics or electro-mechanical engineering, is it true computer science actually caters to only smart people who understands and able to think in an abstract way?
The current job I am in doesn’t suite my personality,the fact that I’m already here in this forum shows that I am interested with computer (as oppose of using a typical OS windows 7)
Is computer science only for smart people? with my age it is too late to pursue computer science as by the time I graduate I’ll be in my early 30’s

It’s never too late to pursue an education.
Most BS degrees do require a certain amount of “brains”, though - but
that’s something that an academic advisor would be better positioned to
help you evaluate.
It’s never too late. Don’t think that you are not smart You were able to obtain
a technical certificate in mechatronics or electro-mechanical engineering means
you have a brain. Sometimes it is not being smart, it’s the positive thoughts (well)
to conquer bigger things.
I used to be an architectural 3d renderer and all illustrations I made was by hand.
When computer and architectural 3d software came in, it killed my profession, then
i thought myself to learn autocad (I was 40+ years old) and at the age 50+ I thought myself to
learn to use blender. It’s always never too late.
Go ahead - I did my computing course in my forties and I found it extremely helpful in teaching me the general principles of what I had already learned. That background made it much easier for me to move to Linux when I encountered it over a decade later.
