Glider Tugging

Hi,

Currently I am a season tug pilot for a large gliding club in the South of England. I am also studying for my ATPL theory examinations, and am due to sit my final exams at the start of June. Although the flying is good, it is very infrequent at the moment, and I am getting less than ten hours per week. As I already have the funds in place to carry out my CPL ME/IR, I am in two minds whether to carry on with this all summer with the chance of getting some free SEP time, or to start my CPL asap and stake my claim on the job market. Im just not sure if the SEP hours from here will really be that valuable, or should I just get the higher licence and focus on paid employment ??
