Im just curious....
As long as there are no background issues...
You will be able to get a CFI job for sure, no problem.
You will also be able to get a regional job when you have enough flight time. However...this hypothetical person has about a 5-10% chance of being unable to complete regional airline 121 training...some seemingly normal folks can't handle the pace in the sim, they just get overwhelmed.
If you get past that hurdle, get your turbine PIC, and keep your record clean you have an excellent chance of getting a major airline job someday. Exactly when and whether or not it's a great company will be determined by the future direction of the industry, luck, and timing.
