Default I did poorly in highschool....

I'm 33 right now and I really want to complete a 4 year professional aviation degree that includes all of the flight ratings to CFI-I. I already have a good portion of the general studies required completed and the flight instructor said that I may be able to complete the degree in 3 years. My current college GPA is 3.1 and I plan on raising it higher, hopefully doing extremely well on all of my check rides.

Is my employment outlook completely abyssal even if I completely rock everything during my time at this college and with my flight training?

Do you have any flight training now? If not, how about training towards a private pilots license for starters?

Yes you could certainly start a new chapter. Some of us put other interests ahead of schoolwork in high school.

At 33 I think you need to get going with the flight training, max effort.

Getting my class 2 medical soon and then putting in my application to the university. And I can't start working towards PPL because it costs money that I don't have. The university works well for me because I can get grant money and federal student loans to do it.

No one will ask about your high school grades. You’re fine.

What he said. Assuming you stayed out of any real legal trouble.
