All good points above. In the Helicopter world, starting at that age is going to be better than a Jenny Craig diet... Get some Cardboard to hang around your neck that says something like "Help the retarded, feed me." Not insulting, just letting you know its going to be some hungry times ahead for the next few years till you get some hirable hours AND turbine time.
Consider the important thing is that in about twenty years you want to be able to NOT have to fly and still have a retirement income, otherwise you will have to resort to the cardboard sign again.
Good Luck..Anything CAN be done, but it aint gonna be easy.
