Answer:
Ask any professional flight training organisation and the pilot shortage/hiring boom is "just around the corner".But they make their money from people paying to become minimum qualified airline pilots (CPL/IR/MCC and now usually JOC plus type rating-frozen ATPL)........OH the irony!

It all depends on where you are..... This year have been a good year for pilots. I dont know where you are from but in europe, Ryanair, BA, Easyjet, Air Lingus, and Jet 2, all have been hiring like crasy. Choose a good school!!! Do not try and save little bit of money. Go all in with a good school, good course.. Integrated is much more recommended than Modular course. Going into a good school is really important!

In Europe today, there are more unemployed pilots than pilots in work.

In India, there currently aren't many opportunities for commercial pilots who have just finished flight school. In fact there are several thousand "freshers" who have spend 20-30 lahks on training and cannot find jobs. The reason is that airlines generally do not hire flight school graduates, they prefer to hire experienced pilots that have been working for awhile. Most of this work experienced is gained in either the military or in non-airline general aviation jobs. "General Aviation" refers to all aviation that is not military or airline. The problem in India is that there aren't many general aviation aircraft, so there aren't many general aviation jobs with which to build experience. If you consider getting a commercial pilot license you would be wise to add instructor certification since one of the few jobs in general aviation in India is working as a flight instructor at one of the nationally authorized flight schools. Your other option is to become a military pilot which is very difficulty to do. However, after 10 years military flying you are more or less guaranteed an airline job.

The aviation industry is extremely cyclical, meaning there are booms of hiring, (the running joke is a pilot simply needs a pulse to get a job offer) and then periods of stagnation where pilots either stay where they are and sometimes lucky to even have a job flying, or they fall back onto a secondary career. As much as "experts" like to forecast the future of the industry, there is no way to accurately predict what the future of aviation will look like. Being that you have yet to complete high school yet, and have yet to even begin any type of flight training, there is no way to say what the future of aviation will be like when you finally become a licensed and rated aviator.
