To the fresh CPL holders, if you ever get the chance, read the book by the title 'Fate is the hunter' by E. K. Gann. It changed my prespective on flying.
The goal is not the shiny jets, it's the journey that takes you there. Same with climbing Mt. Everest. You can jump from a plane on top of the summit (an accomplishment in itself) or you can climb up all the way. But when you get there, it's the journey you will look back at that will give you the satisfaction.
There's so many fantastic jobs in Indonesia/Asia that a fresh CPL holder can apply to. Personally, flying a PC-6 into some of those mountain strips for AMA would be an absolute thrill, something you will never find in the airlines. A friend of mine who's a 737 captain wants to quit his job and fly porters in Papua! Why, he's bored of the same old sh!t everyday.
Indonesia is desperate for instructors. So what if it's a SE? You will meet some fantastic pupils who will remain your friends for life.
