Thanks I realized that was the reality of it all but was hoping that there was some really bad location out there where no one else wanted to live. As for the ratings the were included in the program's overall price and I knew I may have to fall back on instructing as a way to suppliment my total time. I own my own plane a 46 Taylorcraft and have a mortgage that I cant pay on a pilot salary so I will probably have to work in industry and instruct part time.
