ME rating prior to CPL

G'day

I am 17 have completed my PPL and on the way to CPL. The consideration now is do i fork out the $3k ( couple of thousand burgers flipped at McD's worth) for a twin endorsement or do i use what little money i have to go towards hour building?

If i do go for the twin endorsement i run the risk of completeing it but then not haveing enough money to remain proficient at $300 a pop. I would be looking at doing the test in the single for the reasons others have already identified, but would hope to build up about 20 ME command pre-CPL.

What aircraft would be the best for initial twin endorsement / 20hrs ME command building. I have the option of travelair / seminole or possibly 310. What aircraft are primarily used up North? the plan right now is post CPL look for a charter job up north that will hopefully have progression to ME charter. If there are any CP's of companies who consider low time pilots for charter, how do you view ME time? and what aircraft would you like to see it in?

Your time is much apreciated and i eagerly awit your replies,
