Hi Herambh
Having worked in IT recruitment industry for more than 5 yraes with my experience I can say that, age does matter. I've due respect for the comments posted by fellow members but I've seen various good candidates getting rejected due to age, as some times there are team issues. If you want to start as a fresher- developer, your team mates will be around age 21/22. Even tier 1 companies may not entertain your application.
you have considerable experience as a trainer, I would rather suggest you should get more knowledge & acquire skills as a trainer. As you are good in java, you can acquire sun certification & approach the colleges & comp institues. Also you can acquire masters degree in computers, which in turn will open the door to pursue Mphill/ phd to head towards being a professor in college. THis process will take time but at the end, I'm sure you will certainly excell in the career. Industry is in real crunch of good trainers, even universities are facing the same problem. 34 age is nothing if you decide & put your efforts in one direction.
Wish you all the best!!!!
