First off, you should join AOPA if you haven't already. Through them you can get expert advice instead of other pilots opinions.
Having said that, it's going to be tough for you to get hired with that blemish on your record initially. The impact of it will diminish over time and after 10 years shouldn't amount to a hill of beans as long as you keep a clean record.
Because of this, if I were you, I would hold off on training for now. Put some distance between you and the issue. This will give you more time to work and save up money towards the rest of your training which will give you a huge advantage financially. First and foremost, join AOPA!
