reality is no one will give you a job fresh out of school no matter what little letters you have after your name. 200hrs is just not enough, even if you spend even more money and get an IFR rating.
You will need to either get an instructers rating or do your training with an outfit that will give you a job/let you fly for free.
Not easy to get a start so recomend doing as much research into jobs as you do flying schools.
No regional carrier will take you with under 1000hrs ( at leaste )so there is a big gap, haved to filled by either GA or instructing.
When you ask about training ask also what the job prospects are after you finish i.e will they give you some flying if you do a c cat with them.
Oh and you will need a car
Good luck
