Hi john,
I think it depends on various factors to go or not to go.
You have to take into account: the age, financial situation, a degree (back up plan), possibility to rellocate far away for many years, family (wife), etc.
You have to sum up all the factors, also i suppose you did a good research of the market status of the unemployed pilots worldwide, and make your maths numbers and think about going or not. Airlines are cutting costs to the max (salary, you pay your own Type Rating, etc). So you can make your numbers and make a clear decision.
I suggest you to go for it if you really want to do it, but take into account that often things in life are different form what we expect.
Reality first.
