Question 32yr old wannabe near NZWN...

I have had a call from an old friend who is keen to become a professional pilot. (first mistake).
I tried my best to put him off, but he wont let it go. Being a bit out of the loop myself, I thought you lot might be able to help.
He's 32 and would be 33 by the time he gets his cpl. Is he too old to get started?
He's been looking at going to the u.s. for training, but without looking at it too much, I wonder if its a false saving. Once you convert license etc. Plus there is allot to say for going through you local aero club and getting to know local people.
He lives in Wellington and has looked at W aero club and Kapati, any comment? Any other suggestions?
