You are a graduate. If you are so passionate about flying just go for it. Just be aware that at the end of it, you might and will most likely be without a job for atleast half a year if not a whole year.

No one know what the market will be like in 2 years when you get your CPL. It might be booming like mad, or it might be in the biggest slump ever. If you so desperately want to fly don't worry about the job, just look forward to the flights. Being a graduate you can always get a job after your CPL to fund your days.

If you expect a job the 2nd day after you get your CPL, please go join Infosys or TCS right now. It doesn't work that way in the aviation industry. You can have a cushy life testing code for some company in the US and get paid well for it.

If you do decide on a CPL, just make sure you do well. Learn the ins and outs of the field. Know your theory to the core, and be the best of your class. You are bound to get hired, hopefully more sooner than later.

To put it plainly, if I was in your place (and I sort-of am) then its a big YEP. Go for it. Seeing how you describe it to be your religion, don't disapoint your God.
