If you go for it and it works out you will be very very happy. If you go for it and although qualified dont immediately get work it will be an enormous achievement. If you dont go for it you will never know what you could do and have a gnawing "if only" type of existance. Really you have to go for it! I started flying much later than you, managed to get through it all, got some freelance work. And the flying training spawned teaching work and increased my knowledge to the extent I have now a very good ground post in the aviation industry.
