Zoomy,

It's never too late but your return on investment shrinks with every passing day, the costs get higher and your odds of making it to a great job also fade with every passing minute. I guess you would have to determine what your definition of making it is. Most likely you are out of the running to fly the shuttle, probably too old for the military and are looking at some long odds for the majors, but are still in good shape for the regionals. You also have to ask yourself what you are willing to give up. The airline/flying life isn't without some high costs. If you are a family man I would strongly resist the temptation since it will overturn your family life. Also you probably would earn more as an electrician so if finances and standard of living are important to you I would caution aviation as well. There is nothing wrong with a private pilots license and Cessna 150 ownership.
