Printer by trade and worked that for 20 years
Asked for the same advice as you are now and had a lot of well meaning people advising me against it as the age factor was against me. Either that or maybe end up in a turbo prop job.
Being very honest the road has been harder than I thought it would be, cost more money than I thought it would and has been emotional roller coaster.
Having said that I'm glad I did it.
Married with 3 kids under 10
Started my PPL at 33 and got CPL at 35.
Got instructors rating at 38 and did that for a couple of years, have the turbo prop job and just interviewed for a jet job. Don't know how I went but my age never came into the equation.
