Why do it if it's not fun?

At the moment, there are very few jobs for anyone, especially new ATPL(f)s, regardless of age. But the signs are that things are starting to pick up, and hopefully will be better in a couple of years.

I think the best thing you could do is not to go integrated, but to do a modular course. Keep your current job, and work part time towards the ATPL(f). It will probably take 2 or 3 years, by which time the market will hopefully be better. And, if you can't get a job as a pilot at the end of it, at least you'll still have your current job to pay the bills.

Good luck!
