Nope, at 23 years old I was getting belted around the ears by my (now respected) mentors!!
CP didn't happen till much later, and several thousands of hours. My comment ties to an earlier one of yours in another thread - so maybe we both are confused (not unheard of in my case!!).
Oh, and don't get me started on tender writing... absolutely NOT something CPs should be doing. Takes time away from the priorities of the job and something they are not equipped for (usually).
Nevertheless, and on topic, bring the skills you have to the team, chase your dream (if that's what flying is to you), but be under no illusion that for a "late starter" it will be hard, somewhat thankless and certainly no way to become financially wealthy.
But it can be a shedload of fun!
