Well, if you fancy paying for all your training throughout your career, good for you...
However it would be quite silly to buy a type rating right now, at a time when all employers are hurting for pilots... Use the law of the market to your advantage... And remember that flying is just like any other job: you are supposed to make money doing it!

Just keep on calling these companies you mentionned, when you don't have many hours, you often get hired because you are at the right place at the right time... So keep on calling and making people know you're out seriously looking for a job (even if it feels like harrassing them sometimes!). I know for a fact that LEA, for instance, recruits F/Os with your kind of experience, and they are growing quite rapidly... So good luck mate, you'll get there...
