I started chasing jobs before I was finished training. I had one a the day my cfi was done. The only time I have been unemployed since then is when I want to be. That said, the first couple of years were rough, living in the Toyota truck, ramen for dinner, drinking the cheapest beer you could find and picking up and moving a the drop of a hat for the next step up the ladder.
After a couple of years the income started to go up drasticly, but that is still with working more than I would like.
Hang in there, dont be afraid to move on for a better gig, create your own oppertunity, take a little risk ( with the unknown not your flying), network like a SOB, live the dream.
Buena Suerte,
