am I too old to enter the industry?

Hello people,

I'm a national of Trinidad & Tobago, age 27 and now about to embark on flight school at Florida Aviation Academy (US$40,000.00) in an intensive program that will take me from zero to commercial in about 3 months. I'm required to convert from FAA to JAA to work in my region, after converting to JAA i'll already be 28.
Will airlines hire me with such a disproportionate experience to age ratio? Is it worth it to pursue? How do I build the right hours fast? Should I become an instructor?
