Sorry but the negativity is unbearable... I understand the difficulty in this industry but find some of these comments ott
For me it has less to do with the current state of affairs RE: job prospects, but more to do with the lack of initiative to do any real research from the OP.
There are tons of open threads right now regarding the current job market, there is a search function a new thread like this is pointless.

I had a well structured route, which has paid it's yield and I am now a professional pilot, but I know many many people who have CPL/IR who struggle to afford renewals year on year and will ultimately never be a professional pilot.
So for an OP to show such a lack of research, especially since it was a first post, to me just stinks of a troll.
