There will be less and less job available, even if sometimes it's hiring, we will always have less position available.
In the US for example, 25% less pilot the last past 30 years. Funniest if they kept speaking about a pilot shortage during all of those same 30 years.
As of the end of 2008, there were 613,746 active certificated pilots. This number has been declining gradually over the past several decades, down from a high of over 827,000 pilots in 1980.
Few opportunities, yes. Few pilot ritiring yes. More position, no. In the future? Much worse. Economy unstability, airplane with one pilote, fuel crisis, this the future, no escape.
If you like adventure and have the spirit, flying piston/turboprop around the world, discovering new languages and culture, then why not. Get a cheap single engine CPL and have a blast.
If you dream about jet and uniform, you will board one on the most stupid career, you will have no story to tell, you won't travel (airport), you will just be a modern monkey, modern because seated in a jet, and this is only if you find a job. Anyway lay off are to come, massive lay off within 10 years.
