To a point… Certainly wouldn’t advocate going to uni to get a degree or putting in any sort of serious time into a career, just as a backup.
You wouldn’t advise a doctor to first become an accountant just in case med school goes badly.
If you want to be a pilot, be a pilot. You will
probably get a job. If you don’t, then look at a new career. Your net point is the same place in time and cost as if you’d done it beforehand
And that is the worst case. But more than likely you won’t need the backup. If you spent time getting a second career first and do in fact get a job as a pilot, that time and money is wasted.
