Automobile Engineer To A Pilot

hey guys,

I am an automobile engineer, have completed my masters in the US in automotive systems n crash safety, and have worked with Toyota Racing Development and have also done proving ground testing for the same.

Now i have gained a lot of interest for planes n flying, i am 23yrs old and am thinking of shifting to flying by the end of 2009. Now i have no clue about the procedures to go about to get into a flying school n which would be the fastest mode to get a pilot license and how much would it cost. Do i have to take an ground skool training before i join any flying skool?? And since im 23yrs old, is it too late to start a career in this field??

Will my masters degree in the above mentioned, by any way help me in this field or make it easier to get a job?

I would greatly appreciate if u guys could giv me ur feed back, as i guess a lot of experienced or trainee pilots in this forum could help me make the right decision.

Regards,
