Your first mistake is going into debt for flight training.
Get your degree in something useful like finance so you have something you can fall back on outside aviation. Play your cards right and you can get a good job that allows you to pay for your flight training as you go.
If I wanted to live in Asia I'd probably set my sights on Cathay. A lot of other carriers don't pay well and work you pretty hard.
