Default Background affecting future employment

I posted this question on yahoo questions earlier but wanted to get opinions from people in this profession.

Hello,

I am currently starting my junior year in college and should be graduating soon with a bachelor's degree in airway science, along with my commercial pilots license. Before i decide to complete this route(my minor is in business so i can change if necessary), i wanted to get a professional opinion on wether or not i could still get a job flying with my background.

OTHER
Class C Misdemeanor - "Disorderly Conduct" for handing a police officer a fake I.D. outside a night-club when i was under the age of 21, resulting in a 500 dollar fine. - 2009
Class B Misdemeanor - "Racing on Highway" Conviction (5 days in jail and 1000 dollar fine) - I was going extremely fast on my motorcycle, pulled over for the cop and the rest is history. 100% my fault. - 2009

With all this history, is a career in this field still plausible?

I realize that many people say not to pursue this profession, but with all due respect, that is not my question. I plan on getting a Masters in Business Administration anyway, so if that helps to offset my past that would be a plus.

Thanks for your time and help on this matter. I dont want to look back on my life when im 80 and wish i had given it a shot even if there was only a slim chance of getting hired.
