Question 55yr old newly qual. CPL(H)

Can anyone help with the following question I was recently asked:

I am hoping to pay my mortgage off in a few years
time and then start helicopter lessons with the spare cash
flow. I would like to then build up my hours for a commercial
course and licence for when I retire. I would be 55 when I retire.
What are the job prospects like for a 55 year old fossil newly
qualified helicopter pilot ?

Obviously a type rating would need to be paid for at the end but realistically what would be the chances of employment?
