Questions about starting out

Hey guys,
I'm looking to start my flight training next year to get my CPL and had a few quick questions, and your advice on some things.
-I have just turned 29 so by the time I get my CPL I will be about 32 (hopefully) - do you think that is too old to be starting a career in this industry considering I will be up against a lot of other pilots 10 years my junior?
-I know that getting your first job in this industry is generally your hardest one to get so once I finish my CPL I was considering looking at South East Asia to try and get a type rating for the A320 and go down the first officer pathway. Firstly, is this possible straight after you have completed your CPL and what are the chances of me getting a job in the airlines either in SE Asia or Australia if I do this?

I look forward to your guidance on the above.

Cheers.
