That's all very nice and I agree it doesn't have to be on a jet.
BUT, that's rather difficult living in a part of the world where turboprops are rather an occasional sight. In this part of the world, turboprop operators are rather non existent except for a few. If you find one and if they want to hire you, they'll charge you a training bond equal to a very heavy jet.
So tell me honest, why bother... market has never been so bad as today but it will pick up soon.
When those days come, these oprators will have to offer you a very heavy jet salary to fly their aircraft.

And to my personal opinion!! If somebody starts flying a jet soon after flight school like it is the habit in Europe, that experience is at least as valuable then flying turboporps because this jet flying will become his second nature.

People dont't need 5000 hours to pass over to a jet like it is the habbit in some parts of the world. This procedure is usually very much promoted by people who live in these parts of the world.
It is the individual himself who is responsible for his performance.
