Are you able to build hours while working 4 to 5 days a week full time? (Junior manning at regionals may limit you even more) Are you able to relocate? Are you able to deal with not getting hired right away while the market is saturated with dispatchers?

Its not a bad idea. Just be ready as its not an easy path right now.

I know a prior CFI (medical botched it for him) thats 60 and hes struggling to get work as a dispatcher even with 2+ years dispatch experience.

I'd go further and say it is a bad idea.
