Is it too late?
I have a 4 year B.S. Aerospace degree from MTSU with the emphasis of professional pilot. I have my commercial instrument multi-engine ratings and approx. 350 hours total time. Life happened and I let it get away from me for a while. Now I'm going to be 50 in December and am not satisfied with my current line of work anymore. I don't have any aspirations to go airline, I think I would be happy with a decent charter or corporate gig.
As far as medical stuff goes, I take an occasional omeprozole for occasional heartburn and I take a 30 mg losartain daily.
Long story short, is it possible to build my time and get a decent job or should I consider hanging up the dream?

Definitely not too old! If you are looking to jump in head first, get current, get your CFI and find a flight school that will keep you busy. I know you are not necessarily looking at the airlines, but the majors have been hiring pilots in their mid-50s so don't let that deter you. You might consider going to the regionals for a while. You get jet time and it makes you competitive for jet corporate jobs. Keep your eye on the prize!

There was a 63 year old in my regional airline ground school. He was a prior firefighter. Although he will have to retire in two years, he wanted to have some fun with his professional career. I say go for it. You will always regret not pursuing your dream.
