PPL to Frozen ATLP

As the title says I want to go fro PPL to ATPL frozen....

I will need my CPL, ME / IR , MCC , ATLP and I suppose a few hours on a 737 sim will help

It will cost me approx 30k+ to get the above and the another 30K+ if an airline decided to let me get my 737 type rating.

So after chatting to a few pilots and looking at Irish airline websites the above is the bare minimum to apply. I was told while I am getting the type rating I wont be paid but some say I will. Also I will be on a pretty crappy wage until i hit 1500hrs+ and so on

Now, I am not in it for the money and if I can pay to keep a roof over my head and feed myself I'll be one happy Pilot

So what are your views...Do I go to ATPL and risk not getting employed or do I stick with my PPL and buy a sexy 1991 SOCATA TB-10 TOBAGO
