If you have got lots of spare cash lying around for your training or your father is the CEO of an airline then i would say go ahead. If you want to do the training and dont want (or need) a flying job at the end then go ahead too.
But if you dont have the cash or need to borrow it or expect to get a job at the end I would consider it VERY carefully. I have 2500hours and a TP rating. I am unemployed since my company went bust in march. 500CVs later (world-wide) and nothing yet. If thats what its like for me..what will it be like for your with a new license and hardly any hours. My advice is ..enjoy your ppl. Thats fun flying.

ps i dont want to paint a bad picture or complain but i think you need to realise how the industry is at the moment. From your post..it does sound like you have a pretty good idea already.

Whatever you decide to do. I wish you good luck. If you decide to train ..then i wish you VERY good LUCK!!
