If you're planning on a career with the airlines, then don't go TP. They will see it as a step back; as Giannini said, the airlines only care about jet time. However, if you're willing to spend your career in TPs, there might be some good options available. I can only speak for America; I don't know what the industry is like where you are, but over here the medevac industry employs a large number of King Air pilots at a pretty decent wage. If you can live where you're based, and live close to the airport, you can spend all your standby time at home.
And when you get fed up with the industry and quit, you'll be in good company. I did just that a couple years ago. After accumulating 7000 hours, including 3000 twin turbine PIC, and being routinely ignored by every airline except the poverty-wage regionals, I decided to go drive a truck. I've now doubled my salary, and have no regrets whatsoever. I do miss flying, but no regrets.
