My tuppence worth:
Only go into it if when at the fATPL stage, you can afford to say:
"I don't mind, I had x hours of great tuition and experience building for my £x 000s of pounds. It was worth it. I'll always have the hours."
If you MUST get a job afterward (to live, pay back Ma and Pa or whatever), then don't do it.
It's a mug's game at the moment, and will be for a while. That's dour, but if you get an 'ordinary' job to fund flying for fun, your employer will probably be paying you, not the other way around.
