Need advice Please

Hello! to all seafarers out there, Im glad I have found this great website which I believe will help a lot of people in seafaring industry.
I would like to ask for an advice to everyone here who might be able to help.
 My case is that I graduated as an associate in marine transportation leading to BSMT and that was long ago,to be exact it was in the year 1995.
 I did not applied for an apprenticeship that time because I bacame preoccupied for my newly found business back then, Now I am forty three (43) years old but still very fit to work aboard ship.
 My question is that am I still qualified to work if I will apply being a seaman at any agency in Manila being a deck cadet or whatever position I can be qualified?
I have put this query because aboard ship is still in my dream besides I need to work with a little more income for my families support.
I also knows people worked as seamen for the first time above 40's of  age,they even say that there is no age issue anymore when one apply as a seaman. What will be the steps to do for me to be able to work.
Please help me and give me advice. Thank you in advance! STON

it's me
i dont know the seaman market about philipine, but i think if you really want to be a seaman the age is not a problem. i have a friend told me that he met a German deck cadet on board a ship, and that man was 56 years old. so i think if ur body and ur heart fit for sailing, then go!!

I agree with 3/Mate shen,
If you really physically fit,then go on... but my  advice is,you should  start first  the small company or agency in manila, then after that you have find better and  fitted  for your needs.
GOOD LUCK TO YOU CDT..
