bunnyhop,
If you have the same attitude and motivation as you describe as above, once out of flight school. I'm sure you will get a job at the end. There are jobs out there, but you have to apply like crazy and get on the phone and hunt the HR or the chief pilot down.
I'm going for an interview myself next month in South Asia. After 70 Cvs at least something come up.
If you dream about flying day and night,,,then go for it!!!
Good Luck
