Suggestions needed .. yet again!

Note to the Mods - Please don't transfer or merge to an existing thread. I am looking replies relevant to my side of the world hence posting in this section. Thank you.

Hi Guys,
I hope all of you and your loved ones are safe.

I have posted in the forum regarding my situation in past as well . Long story short -> 37 years old, married, no kids, applied for REX cadet program, got rejected in WOMBAT itself.

Now I am planning to start my modular flying training. My queries are -

I want to pursue flying but will train over the period of 3-4 years. Keeping my age and current COVID situation I have given up on my dream of being in cockpit of a commercial airliner. Now the plan is pursue PPL, if everything stays favourable (Medical, Income etc) build hours and get CPL in next 3-4 years.
If I manage to get a CPL then try to get a part time job in crop dusting, banner hosting, carrying sky divers etc. So that I can keep flying but don't pay for doing so.

What do you guys think of the plan? Is it reasonable or am I missing out on an important bit?
Lastly any suggestions for a good flying school in Sydney area?

Thank you.
