As long as I will be able to fly and earn money towards normal living I'll be happy, another thing is, do you want to be a pilot for the money or because of the fact that you're in the air? I know a guy who learns to fly (in Poland) and absolutely hates it, but he does it, so he can earn good money in the future, anyways good luck to him. I don't see doing something you don't like just for the money. Take the fact that you're going to be doing it for a long, long time into account. There are millions different careers in which you could earn even better money and you might like them. You can surely find a good job as a pilot and earn good money, but at first you have to find that first job, which will let you gain experience and that will let you find a better job.
RSFTO, it's not all about the money, is it?
I also don't believe that the airlines will start sponsorships again and if they do then it won't be many airlines.
