Considering becoming an airline pilot at 35 – realistic?

I’m a 35F hairstylist/business owner looking for a career change. I’ve been doing hair since 19 and want something completely different.

I’m planning to take a discovery flight soon to see if I actually enjoy flying, but I’m trying to understand the reality of the career before going all in.

For those in the industry:

Do you enjoy being a pilot long-term?

What are the biggest sacrifices people don’t talk about?

Is starting at 35 realistic?

Appreciate any honest insight.
