Am I too young? And how young is too young?

Hi all,

Need some help!!
Im 21 with brand new JAR PPL. The way things are going it looks like i will be sitting my ATPL theory when i am 22.
Problem is, i feel too young to be flying commercially. Dont get me wrong, i would love to fly for an airline or instruct. But who is going to want a 22 year old lad flying their planes or teaching students to fly?.
Better stil, how many people would want to be taught by a 22 year old??.

Have i got this wrong or is it genuinely not realistic to expect to become an instructor or airline pilot at such a young age???

AM I TOO YOUNG OR JUST TOO SCARED?!?!?!?!?

ps,I know i am by no means one of the youngest flyers out there!!! I just feel too young!!!!

Cheers!!!
