Post I WANNA BE A CROP DUSTER

I need some advice. The only form of aviation that has really appealed to me is Ag flying, however what are the prospects really like? I know where I can get the training and certification but what happens after that? Firstly I'm a brit, secondly because of my eyesight, the FAA is the only route open to me. Before I invest a lot of money in a prospective white elephant, this would be a major career change for me, would Ag operators be willing to sponsor an alien, or are their enough willing young tyros to fill cockpits and would my age(40)if I went ahead be an issue. Failing that what are the prospects for employment around the world, bearing in mind that my eyesight might cause problems.
