Good luck
So many different ways to cut it...for example, I have been advised by many to do the CPL on SEP (single engine piston), then do the ME/IR much later when the industry "picks up". Just one example of the zillion different aspects of this journey which requires careful thought and, homework.
As I'm sure you've read already, having a CPL/IR with 200hrs right now is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
In addition, you'll have to continue to spend serious money to keep it all current).
On the other hand, if you're not qualified you definately won't get a job flying anything anywhere...
