Down, Not Out, But Need Advice

I'd like to get any advice going from members about my particular problem...

I was chopped from the RAF Jetstream multi engine course last year with around 15hrs left to do (end of low-level phase). It's fair to say that I'm pretty cut up about the whole thing, but I'm fully aware that that's not going to get me anywhere.

Having re-branched to a ground job and accepted that my heart just isn't in it, I've decided to leave the mob and pursue a career in civil aviation. I'm looking towards the states, intitially to study for a CPL (can't afford owt else!).

I've got (approx) 175hrs total military, 75 on Jetstreams, having got an Amber rating and night 1st pilot qualification.

I've no idea what (if anything) this will get me and could use some guidance (or a job offer if anyone wants a slightly gawky looking hangar sweeper/student!).

Ta

P.S Ndekepilot, thanks a lot for the great advice I've had so far. What are big brothers for?!
