Luke has it about right,

Get an FI rating and you will find employment today, put your heart and soul into it. If you cant and FI rating look at glider tugging or para dropping. The rest will come with time.
I did three years instructing and then two years tuboprop and to be honest those five years were the best time i've had so far and taught me more that I could hope. Mainly because I flew during my turboprop time with some true veterans of the industy and to be honest that time was invaluable.

I've now done 2.5 years in a loco of which the last 8 months have been left seat.

A jet job with 200 hours is what everyone seems to want these days but only the lucky few seem to get it straight from training.
