Triplespool123,
If your dream for a career is to make the bunks and sit in the jumpseat for the next 5+ years, then I'd hate to see your nightmares.
Flying is a dream. No one does it for the money.
The majority of us do it for the money. We're just lucky we enjoy our job.
You seem to have the idea the only way to progress in aviation is to pay your way into jobs, or take substandard deals without thinking long term for your career. Have you heard of hard work. What about starting small and working your way up through the industry, or do you have to start on a widebody jet as anything else would be below your standards.
Why don't you go down to West Africa and get some experience. Then you can tell us how your dream is progressing.
