I wish you the best of luck, guys, but do remember that your final aim is to get a job, not just to gain the license. If you are 30+ and have the same experience and aptitude as a 20 yr-old then most employers will go for the latter.
You will be well-advised to figure an FIC rating and at least a couple of years' instructing into your calculations. By the time you have gained 1200 hours then most airlines might offer you an interview.
It is a long haul but IMHO still worth it in the end
