Go for it
!!!
I was 41 when I finally got my CPL/IR - froz ATPL.
Admittedly getting that 1st flying job was a total bitch - hundreds of CVs, phone calls, etc and got nowhere. Eventually did an FI rating and worked as a part time instructor for almost 2 years.
BUT - it paid off in the end - Now I have the LH seat in a shiny new bizjet - the job I always wanted !
So, bite the bullet, pay the huge fees and costs and get flying...
