Is it worth it?

I was just wondering whether it's really worth entering the professional aviation industry. Having gained a place at one of the 3 established FTO's; I'm wondering what I'm really getting myself in for. With it seems the ever depleting terms and conditions, and the current condition for low hour graduates, the outlook doesn't look too rosy. Also, speaking to various pilots there seems to be a mixed view on whether becoming a pilot in the current climate is beneficial to myself or the industry. With my secondary option to become a seafarer, where there is a lot more stability and brighter outlook for graduates, I was just wondering is it worth it? Besides the self satisfaction of flying airliners around Europe and the world.
Thank you
