Your problem.

You have low hours?

Do you have a job guarantee if you get the rating? (NO)

Will the companies pick you because of the rating (maybe). What about the 50 hours line training?

You will have to RENEW your rating every 6 months on some types. So if you can't find a job within that timeframe, then you'd have to renew the type rating. Does NOT come cheap.

If you can throw the money away like that, do so. Just don't be too schocked that you can't find a job with it.

Other side of this, very little experience flying and even much less flying a 737.

In my view it's like giving a baby a BMW and hoping the best.
