Please Help
35 yr old wanting to fly. Supportive partner, mortgage and 2 yr old child.

I can read on here about the difference choices between modular and intergrated and uk versus usa, what i really want to know is it possible for someone of my age to realistically start training for a professional career.

Have been looking into this for 20 years and have tryed and failed on 3 ocasions due to finances. I am now in apoistion where i have £50k in equity on my property so can probably remortgage to finace most of my training and living expenses i am fortunate that i am i sub contractor in the telecoms buisness and can continue to do this.
I already have a class 1 medical (expired) and 35 hrs of ppl training here in the uk.

I would really like to be a instructor and not the airlines (would apply but wouldn't be disapoineted if nothng came up as i want to fly a plane not a computer).

I estimate if i start training jan 08 i will be in a poistion to start working summer 09.

Would £50k be enough to do training to instructor level and at 37 with no experinence would i be employable?

Somebody please help as do not know what to do.........
