As much as I hate to say it, Fly_antonov and Flyprototype have a point. There are some good comments on here and good advise.

For the record I was in my mid 30's when I came into flight training, I have no debt and worked dammed hard to make sure I had none.

I was lucky, or unlucky depending on your point of view, I had to undergo SSTR and hours, but got a job.

That was a few years ago, now and for the next few years the market is saturated with low houred pilots and worse still there are a lot of experienced pilots without jobs. The upshot, well unless you are really lucky to get a FI job, and pay for the rating. You will have to be monumentally lucky to land a job on Turboprop or even jet and even then will probably have to pay for the rating.

I would wait, get some money behind you first.
