Question

Can I do somethin related to health science(dental, medicine, pharm) in college and later train to be a pilot?

Answer 1

Yes.  You can train to be a pilot at any time, regardless of your college training.

Answer 2

Sure, why not?  Or train during the college years.

Answer 3

Certainly.  Russ Chew is a good example:  Chew studied psychology and computer science in addition to following a pre-med/pre-dental path at Stanford. Then he earned a doctor of dental surgery degree from the University of Southern California.  

Chew hired on as a pilot in 1985 with the then-fast-growing American Airlines. But within two years, he'd moved to managing other pilots, then to managing various aspects of the carrier's operations. In the mid 1990s, he was put in charge of American's System Operation Control center.

He left American in 2003 to become the Federal Aviation Administration's first-ever chief operating officer.

After leaving the FAA, Chew returned to the airline business with Jet Blue as COO.

I think that should answer the question . . .

Answer 4

A 50 year old bin man can train to be a pilot as long as he's reasonably fit .

To get your pilots licence you just have to pay for tuition and while flying accumulate hours of experience ,  as long as you don't park your plane in a tree for so many hours your qualified .

Answer 5

There is only one down side to doing that... You will be wanted more by an airline because of your higher level education.
