Your age is not to your advantage, however if you want to fly then why shouldn't you.
You may not get to a major airline and fly a jet but there are plenty of turbo prop operators keen for the older candidate who won't leave at the first opportunity.
Another alternative is the instructing path, you bring to the instructional area what a good many fresh faced instructors cannot, that is life experience. The best instruction I got was from a fifty year old bloke who had only recently changed jobs.
If you don't give it a go you'll never know and we only walk this path once!
Most importantly........... don't listen to the naysayers. If I'd listened to every person who said the obstacle was insurmountable I'd still be doing work I didn't want to do and gazing longingly at every aircraft that flew overhead.
When the going gets tough the tough get going.
Get off your butt and get on with it. The sooner you start the sooner you'll achieve your first goal!
Good Luck and enjoy every step(even the exams)
