Right timing

Stall...
At age 24 (26 by the time you're finished everything) you shouldn't have any more problems than anyone else in getting yourself a flying career. Regardless of age though, don't expect to get straight onto a modern shiny jet for your first job. ( But it sometimes happens, so keep applying anyway) but expect to get onto a turboprop operator for the first year or two...expect to fly about 600 hours per year (give or take 100 )
After a couple of years of that your (young) age of about 28 ish and over 1000 hours flying time will make you a valuable proposition for larger airlines to look for.
Good luck.
