NATS application for people aged 35+

Hi, I've just been invited to attend NATS ATC stage 1 tests etc, which going on the information in an earlier thread now won't be until April next year.
I have my reservations about taking this application any further as I'm 35 with 2 kids and a job which earns just above £37K.
Ulitmately I can't see how I could cope with the drop in salary if & when I ever made it to college, especially with a mortgage and a family to support.
Is/Was anyone else in a similar position to myself? How have you coped? For me this seems like something that is ideal for someone that is fresh out of college or uni not a guy in his mid 30's with a family.
