If you want to stay in Europe? Yes but not in the airlines - there is a lot more to aviation than the shiny jet. Although some airlines have been surfacing who are willing to partially pay TR.
If you must stay in Europe and want to fly airlines - you could consider turboprops. The type rating is much cheaper and the experience is invaluable. Loganair for example are always hiring and type rating is probably half of Ryanair's. They also fly to the worlds only (scheduled flight) beach runway
