chasing a pipe dream

hey all. i have been looking into private lessons and asking around about commercial training. most people say don't even bother. if you manage to get the money together to get trained and get enough hours of flight time it doesn't mean you can find a job. so i want to know whats the facts.
is the job market flooded?
how old is to old to become a commercial pilot?
do all pilots need a degree? (cargo)
whats it like for women in the industry?
is it true it takes 4 years before you can get a job flying because its hard to get flight time and other experience and training.
i know all these have been asked before but i would really appreciate some answers. especially if there are women in the industry also.
thanks a lot!
