Know how you feel! I remember what it was like getting started. Keep plugging away, it will happen. Any flying is good flying regardless of what others say. If you are logging hours and not paying for them good, if you are logging hours and getting paid great. (You are now a professional pilot).
Always try to keep advancing yourself. If the first job you get is aerial photography then good. Will build good handling skills, will get the logbook moving and will get your head thinking about aviaition. Most importantly you will be a commander of an aircraft having to fly within all the regulations of the state in which the work is conducted safely. Says a lot to future employers.
Try these: Good Luck!
