    Yes, you can still start a career as a pilot at 32 years old with a Master's in Civil Engineering, as long as you meet the necessary medical requirements and are willing to undergo the required flight training; most airlines accept pilots up to the mid-30s, and some even have cadet programs with slightly higher age limits depending on the specific program and airline.
