Job opportunities worldwide are shrinking.
SSTR is here to stay and will only become more prevalant
If you are bright enough, look at other careers that pay more and do a PPL and fly for fun. The days of long stopovers and good pay and conditions are long gone.
My advice - do not undertake commercial flying training until (if) the market improves. Also, if you are not related to someone already a pilot, SERIOUSLY consider if it is likely you will get a job.
You will also grow older and perhaps wiser and realise that it ain't like you thought it would be.
I am lucky. I earn enough in a different industry and instruct for enjoyment.
And finally, do not comment on PPRUNE that you only need an iron will and persistence etc etc to get a job until you have comparative number of ATPL's issued vs employment numbers. Do the sums
