At 37 realistically if i give it all i have and obtain my license i will be 38, what are the real chances of getting a job at that age?
With a good work ethic and a bit more life experience than some of the others going through, I'd say you have a very real chance of making a go of it (outside of the usual airline conveyor that is) so long as you're willing to leave the big smoke also. Corporate charter, survey, running a flight school someplace.. Australia is your oyster. Go for it.

Do you have a PPL or are you starting from scratch? Presuming you already have a PPL, check out Bini's or Base Aviation at Moorabbin or Lilydale Flying School if you're out that way.
