I agree Eco,
I did it, decided after 12 months that it wasn't worth it, and am currently changing careers. One senior executive friend of mine called becoming a commercial pilot "financially retarded", and while I don't regret doing it (as it was a lifelong dream fulfilled) I would never again hang my hat on a career in the industry. There are jobs galore, I got every job I applied for and must have knocked back about half a dozen since I decided to give it away. Problem is they all expect you to work in the middle of nowhere for nothing. Also, unless your doing some really cool flying or derive some sense of satisfaction and purpose from you work, it gets boring after 500-odd commercial hours.
