Probably not much point doing much else right now than doing the minimum required to keep your license and ratings. Save your money instead.

When things improve on the job market then you can always 'get back into aviation' with a flying holiday to the States where renting aircraft is usually cheaper. Or if you prefer flying in Europe, put ads out, ask around for people to share aircraft with. There must be others in the same situation.

I flew with a guy the other day that waited 10 years for his first job. He could not find a job, run out of cash, license expired etc etc. Anyhow he made it back into the business eventually and is now an airline captain. You just never know in this business.
