It might be too late for you to explore mining, in my opinion, depending on a few key variables.  In the past, mining was far more lucrative than it is now, when a setup requires a huge hash rate.  In contrast to today, mining was feasible back then with a decent GPU and CPU.  The expense of purchasing, maintaining, and even using electricity to run the goods is another significant setback. If you live in an area with high electricity costs, you may occasionally lose money or make no profit at all.
