Full respect 747 for the balls factor..
All above posts have covered it well enough..Just stick with it, and it will eventually turn for the better....If any operator gets wind of just how committed you are they'd be crazy not to hire you..
We'd have to be pretty close to the worst part of the "cycle" right now, so that can only mean that within the next year or so things will turn again(there are small positive signs already in the economy itself), and all the "overqualified" pilots will start to get recalls into the jobs that suit they'e quals leaving a hole for the newbies to step into.
From the sounds of your attitude you'll be first in line .
Good luck..
