In five years time we could be all working for NASA because they found oil on the moon or working gutting fish on the docks! I would be happy to know what will be going on in six months!
A lot of getting any job is down to timing. This is a huge factor in the North American helicopter market. There are a lot of seasonal jobs in Alaska and Canada that run through the summer six months. If you can time your requirement for a job when everyone else is vacating theirs (to go off working the wilderness and glacier hopping) then you will be in for a better chance. This has always been the case in HAI and I'm sure a lot of other schools where you had a huge turnover of staff in March/ April every year
