Prospects for future upcoming pilots in East Africa

Hi folks!

Direct to the point.

What does the future gold for upcoming junior pilots particularly those in East Africa? I am 29 and considering flying south for pilot training, upon which i intend to come back to Kenya for conversion of the licenses and possibly look for work. Considering that this is very capital-intensive thing, whats your advise? Should i invest the money somewhere else as some pilot based in Nairobi told me, or should I just continue pursuing my dream. Being a pilot is something that I have always wanted to be ever since.

Whats the job market like for someone with less than 500 hours, especially in Nairobi? I wouldn't mind the low pays for maybe 1-2 years!! (This is assuming i have acquired all the licences required and converted them to Kenyan standards)
