Mature Age PGA Traineeships. Should I or shouldn't I?

[tifob]

I'm 34 and am seriously considering doing a PGA traineeship.

I live on a golf course, am able to practice at night, and have a deep desire to pursue a career in golf. I don't have grandiose dreams of becoming a touring pro; or even going to Q school. I do however have the inner belief and natural talent to be very, very good at the game.

What I'm really looking for is a change of career. One that has longevity and can enable me to coach in my later years. My current profession has a limited life-span. I'm passionate about golf and extremely dedicated to the process of improvement.

On the off chance that I'm able to continue to improve, (as I have been) during my traineeship - and beyond. I hope that one day I'm able to be competitive in in state or national comps.

My question however are to those how may have undertaken such a path.

How hard is it to actually find work after the traineeship? How much money could a PGA pro make medium based golf clubs around Australia?
