worth to become a pilot and isnt too late?

Hi to everyone, Im a big fun of this website, but is actually the first time that I post something.
Im going to ask you about something that you've heard thousends of times.
How much is it Worth to become an airline pilot in this period?
Im almost 24 years old, I hold a bachelor in mechanical engineering and I'm about to finish my master degree in aerospace engineering. I would like to start my pilot studies this summer. The fact is that when I talk with everyone (my professors, friends and people working in aerospace field) call me crazy because for their point of view is complitely worthless.

A professor of my university advised me to take the ppl because it would be very usefull for my career in the aerospace design career. I had the possibility to talk with many pilots and all of them told me that I would have better life as an engineer, but if money is not a problem I can trythe pilot way. Actually is a bit about money. I dont want to risk to pay 60.000 euro for a frozen ATPL and than being jobless for couple of years. I would like to hear some opinion from any of you, cause now after 5 years of wonderings is definetly time for me to decide what to do.
Thanks anyone.
