25 years old from argentina

Hi everyone. A little context: I'm 25 from Argentina and about to get a degree in system information.
I would really like to start the pilot career, targeting at commercial airlines. I've already saved to pay for the private pilot license and commercial pilot license. Thing is that I'd like to continue my life and training anywhere else, since job pilots in this country barely exists. (Any type of pilots job).
Is it possible to validate the hours in another country?. USA, Canada, Europe, China, anywhere. Also I've read that the payment for starters is not very good, is this a global situation or only in the us?
I've also read that there is a pilot shortage so that now is a good time to become one.
Finally, the question you always get: is 25 a good age to dream of becoming a pilot? Luckily i dont have a wife or debts or anything pulling me back too much. Any advice will be more than welcomed!. At what age did you start studying for this?
