Get a EASA Part 66 B1 (and B2 if possible) AME Licence, and get some maintenance experience under your belt. Then go for some useful type ratings. You'll never be out of a well-paid job if you are flexible and enterprising, and you already know a great deal of what you need to know. You are also well-qualified to run an airline if you can count beans as well, but why bother when there's other suckers to carry the burden of worry and hassle.
