Red face Age and flight hours

Hello to all,

I've been wondering myself about the age requirements in many open positions for pilots and jobs involved. I have no seen any special requirements in many offers but all people know age is an special point when you want to apply for pilot position, flyght hours as well.
At present day I'm 26 years old and I gonna attend PPL. Can anyone give me advises or suggestions about the possibility to go on with the rest of modules to get all licenses? or is it too late to go for it? I mean comercial pilot ...
I've heard a lot of opinions about it and I want to expose this subject in an international forum like this to know more about the situation in the world.

The point is the following: Can a recient graduate comercial pilot for example with 29 or 30 age old and 500 flyght hours to apply for a position or this is not enough?

Well that are doubts I have right now.

Thanks in adavance

You are not too old! Far from it. Do a search here using 'too old' as the keyword and learn from all those 10 or 15 years older than you who are taking the same road.

thanks

Thanks for your fast response.

Yes, I had a look of the topic you told me and it's true. The age it's not the most important point.

Right know I'm attending PPL course in Spain (Madrid) and I'm really happy about my decission. I hope to go on with the rest of licenses to be able to get a pilot job in the future, Who knows?
The most important is just to fly, no matter how you get it...but I think it is.

Thanks in advance.
