The industry IS facing difficult times ahead, and those difficulties are not likely to go away. But you are vulnerable to this in any aviation company - whether you're pushing a pen or a throttle.
I don't know what your aviation goal is - but consider this: You may well be too late for the industry - and never make it to your goal. But when you're 80 years old, sitting in your rocking chair, looking back on your life, will you regret not giving it a crack and finding out?
I actually gave up on my dream of being a pilot back in 2002 for various reasons (including that aviation was doomed). BUT I changed my mind a few years later, and now regret wasting that time! If I had not dilly dallied, I would be much closer to a big shiny jet and a huge pay packet
Having said all that, my dad would tell you not to be so stupid and go with a nice proper job in a stable industry!
Just my 2c.
