Total Newbe Needs A Little Help And Advice

Hi, I am 28 years old and an English Teacher. Since I was a young child I have loved planes and flying, my dream always has been to be a pilot. Unfortunately when I was 8 the school nurse said "forget that idea you are 70% colour blind".... all my life I have felt saddened that I could not chase my dream, this dream still bothers me and I want to take action. I have a Uni degree and 2 masters degrees in Psychology/Linguistics. I have no flying experience except a day in a 737 simulator. My question is basically ..

1) Is my age and colour blindness the end of the dream ?
2) If not where should I begin considering I have a family to support.
3) From total beginner to employable pilot what is the time frame ?

Sorry if my questions have been repeated many times and thank you for your help.
