I started at roughly your age after a long career with yachts.. Much of your advancement will depend on the state of the employment market at the time you qualify.... I was both lucky and unlucky in that during my training years their was a desperate need for pilots (anyone able to fly a kite got a seat).. I secured a job in the right seat of a turbo-prop just as the recession hit... 7 yrs stuck on the same turbo-prop... (but at least I kept flying..many didn't and never flew again)... by the time the recession was finally over it was too late for me to apply for a decent jet-job...
As Malc4d says.. a large wallet could help.. if you're able to get a 73 rating and find someone looking for qualified but non-experienced crew you could end up leap-frogging ... or adjust to flying whatever is available. A lot might depend on how flexible you can be regarding where and what you fly.
