Being a pilot now

Hey I was just wondering if this is a good path to take right now? in this unstable economy, are airlines hiring people? especially young guys with no experience? I'm talking about Middle eastern airlines like Qatar airways, Gulf Air etc. I heard there are a lot of unemployed young pilots right now and I surely don't want to be one of those when I graduate. especially as I will have to pay back a HUGE loan I will have to take from the bank, I plan to pay that amount from my salary. so basically if I don't get a job when I graduate, I'm kinda screwed. I can wait for a couple of months to find a job, but I hear people saying they're jobless for more than a year! would a military root be a better choice for me since aviation is the only thing I'm interested in?
