Post What are my chances?

I'm 34 years old and thinking of having a career change - from sitting behind a desk all day to a career as a helicopter pilot.

My question is, if I go ahead and get a commercial licence (I currently live in Australia) what are my realistic chances of getting a job? Is my age / lack of flying experience against me? I figure I could have 20 - 25 years of flying so maybe I'm not too late. Am I being naive? Are there other things I should take into consideration before embarking on a flying career? I would appreciate any advice, help or informed opinion available.

Thanks.
