Depending on your stage in the career timeline - you may experience a pilot shoratge - which should be a good thing. As you progress up the ladder - there is less and less of a pilot shortage until you get to "the majors and quality corporate jobs" where there is likely never going to be a real shortage of pilots jobs - just like any pyramid set-up.
Good points (as always). However I purposely stated the above since 95% of folks looking at "aviation careers" are probably looking at major airlines and the "quality" corporate jobs, aka Proctor and Gamble, Union Pacific, etc type flight departments.
