Well, you're in the US. As far as I know the pilot employment market is not as open as it is on this side of the pond. Nevertheless, just met a female F/O flying the MD-80 (though for a company paying peanuts), aged 48, and who got started with the PPL 4 1/2 years ago.
As been written on this forum many times before, if you WANNA do it, go, bite hard and do it!
All the best
