Unhappy Fed up with this career

Im totally fed up with this as a career. Ive got over 3500tt and am currently flying a small- medium sized biz jet and getting paid peanuts despite having some command time. I ve tried to apply to airlines before with no success. All they seem to be bothered about is recruiting a 20 year old cadet with 200 hours to sit in the RHS on a 6 month contract and for a large sum of money from daddy's wallet. I cant apply for captain positions as I dont have any experience flying for an airline or JAR25 aeroplanes. Despite being only 34 with jet experience/ glass cockit time/ highly capable of making cups of coffee that I feel im already on the scrap heap and my present job (that doesnt even pay my morgage) is about to go tits up. Why when we've put all this into a career there is so much lacking?
