Too old? No, if your aspirations aren't too high. Also, you must remember it's like many other professions in that you can go and spend the money, get the bits of paper but still be a complete plonker who wouldn't pass an interview for stacking shelves in Tescos never mind a flying job. Plenty folk winge about never getting work, but I imagine some of them wouldn't get any kind of work.
Also, do a search in this Forum, there are plenty previous threads on this that will give all views possible, from the very negative to the positive. Then take all the views and make your own mind up.
