Can't speak for the European market but in the U.S most major airlines already have over 10,000 applications on file for pilots.
While there will be a shortage of pilots in the future the shortage will be for qualified pilots (eg: over 3000 hours turbine, Jet PIC time) or so and the second sector will be the CFI sector because a lot of these pilots are being taken up by regional airlines.
The shortage is a great sales gimmick for flight schools and they are taking full advantage of it.While statistically in some was you could argue there will be a shortage, on the whole it is nothing more than a sales gimmick.
Just work on your license and keep building your experience. That has been the only way and will be the only way to a successfull pilot career.
