Where do you want to end up? Professional GA Instructor, GA career, airlines?

GA is doom & gloom, but there are jobs there. As less and less people see it as a viable future, the pool of candidates for any given job shrinks and the conditions improve.

There are top level GA organisations struggling to find suitable pilots to fill Instructor and Charter positions even now and that situation is going to worsen. Those who stay in the industry will be in demand, even as the industry shrinks beneath the ever increasing weight of bureaucracy.

You are probably not a candidate for an airline gig; too many barely-pubescent cadets and university grad applicants for the RH seat jobs that are about.

My opinion only; you need to do your own research and decide if you can make a living in the field, or whether you'd be better off with a more conventional job and a PPL or RPL for the weekends.
