Now due to Personal Constraints, if I tried my Hardest, I won't be ready to start my CPL Course until I am around 34, 33 if I really Push it.

My Simple Question is this
Is it going to be worth it (Career Wise) to get my CPL so Late? I have been told that 35 is the ultimate cut-off.... so I thought I'd ask People who are in the Field, stick my feelers out and see what you Guys/Girls Think.

Thank you for any and all your Responces.
Depends what your dreams are. To be a jet captain at a major airline in Australia? Yeah, it's probably too late. To have a rewarding career in GA, corporate or regional. Plenty of time. You'll need to manage financial expectations appropriately.
