Go for it, but with your eyes wide open, it isn't going to be easy.. .. .Plenty of people out there didn't start until later in life, and as MJR says some employers prefer older pilots.. .. .Some employers look for a mixture, business experience brought to the airline can be of a great benefit, so a mixture with youth can be a very good thing.. .. .Others will not look at you if you are over 30, simple as that (I'll mention no names).. .. .I started my PPL when I was 30, got my CPL/IR at 33, and start my first jet position in a couple of weeks at the age of 34, it can be done.. .. .Good luck, work hard but be realistic. have a look at Clive Hughes' book - it's been an invaluable aid to me, worth getting.
