Question Second career as flying instructor.

I realise this subject has been covered before but I can't seem to find a previous link As I approach my mid 50s and 400hrs PPL thoughts turn to becoming a flying instructor. Am I too old? I have been told that I need to do the CPL written exams and pass the CPL flight test to be able to do the FI course. I wonder if I would struggle with the CPL writtens and wonder if the flight tests are just a bridge too far . I read some time ago about a proposed FI course based on experience and attendance at a flying instructors school, has that gone any further? Would there be any chance of getting a paid job as a FI that wants to 'settle down' as an FI? Thanks for any comments
