What is the future of the airline pilot?

I have been offered a place on a airline training course (I would have to pay for it), but I don't whether to go ahead with it or not. With so much automation on airliners now, and what with the glamour having gone, is it really an admirable job to have, and would I get bored after a couple of years? I wonder if I would be best off earning good money in an office job. What do you think? Also, in twenty years time, with the advance of computers, the pilot will just be like a monkey pushing the odd on.
