Fresh out of Flight School....asian/U.S job outlook?

i keep hearing that there is a shortage of pilots in asia and maybe here in the states. i also know alot of students come from china, india, and korea to enroll in flight school here in the us. my quesion is: being korean american i want to work for a korean airlines and commute from cities in the us(LA, Dallas, Chicago). if i enrolled in flight school what are the chances of getting a job as a second officer or getting hired for training to be first officer? asiana air? korean air? i really need honest answers and really would love to hear peoples feedback....people who work for that just got hired in asia. like demand (current and future)? requirements? direct route to getting hired by the airline? more MEL? other ratings? anything useful before i start flight school. After flight school i will have:
  • 250 hours total flight time - 220 hours SEL and 30 hours MEL
  • Private Pilot, Airplane Single Engine Land
  • Commercial Pilot, Airplane Single Engine Land / Instrument
  • Commercial Pilot, Airplane Multi-Engine Land / Instrument
Already have a 4 year degree from a university
