Nev, yes there are limited choices GA, Aeromedical, corporate, AG or Fire are some of the few that you can make a career. Agreed they won't make the money there used to be in airlines. I have never had a desire to get a job with airlines. I have had a 40 year career in Ag and on fire work, enjoyed it immensely. 100% hands on, never switched on an autopilot. I learned to fly to fly an aircraft, not to sit there for 95% of the time while the autopilot does the work. I put job satisfaction of AG flying above making double the money in an airline job, after 40 years I still enjoy every hour I fly. I will repeat, not everybody thinks working for an airline is the dream job.
