I'm afraid B2N2 is as correct as he is sensible. There is no guarantee of a job after training and there is fierce competition for jobs that do exist. But let's say you get one 18 months after starting, which is quick, consider how much you will be paid. Also, do not be swayed by any rumours of any pilot shortage. Any shortage will be of experienced pilots. Yes, it does filter down to the new entrants but at a glacial speed. Only when you see European airlines recruiting for fully sponsored ab-initio courses will a real shortage exist as they panic to fill vacant seats.
My advice would be to fly for fun. Go gliding, get a PPL, do aerobatics and possibly, and very slowly, earn a CPL. This will put you a position whereby you a can jump into an aviation job if one comes up, if not you can continue to enjoy your or flying and current career. Furthermore, doing things this way will place you closer to the inside so you can hear of more opportunities as they arise.
Best of luck!
