I'm in much the same position, if just a tad younger. I'm 28, in a successful and well paid career in the City, but I'd much rather be sitting at the pointy end of an airliner.
I have a mortgage and a wife and jacking it all in for a full time ATPL isn't an option, so it's down to finishing off my PPL as soon as I can (probably by next Spring), then ATPL theory by correspondence, CPL and onwards.
Whilst I realise that it means an awful lot of hard work and a considerable amount of committment - after all, I'll be studying after I've already done a full day's work - as pjdj777 said, I think I'll enjoy it. The decision to actually go ahead and do it is only one I've taken in the past week or so, and the feeling of release and sheer joy at finally getting off my arse and doing something is enough to convince me that I'm doing the right thing.
Good luck - who knows, in a few years we might be sharing an office at 30,000 ft
