It will not count as actual logged flight time. It might make an interesting conversation piece at a job interview...but you won't get the interview without real flight time.

But it generally pays well compared to many other flying jobs.

Also pilot employers generally frown on applicants who have been out of the cockpit for an extended period of time...but I tend to think they would be more favorable towards a UAV pilot as opposed to someone who had been completely out of aviation.
