I also started training late.
I Didn't start my PPL until 26, planned to be finished by 28 and working for an airline by 30.
In the end, the real world took over. I didn't finish my IR until 32, MCC/JOC at 34, then first job on 737s at 35.
Have patience, don't do anything stupid, don't make any quick decisions.
You're never too old
