Get into the mining industry, what old mate said about flying in the off week is sound.
I took a loan, did all my training at once, in min hours, instructor ect. But I was lucky and found work right away, This was 13 years ago. I took a few years off flying, but the whole time I wasnt flying I was still paying my loan, something really wrong about that. I got back flying, paid cash for my IFR, but still owe on original loan.
If I had my time again I woulda went for the mines, and flew on weeks off. They make upwards of 100k a year.
But at 33, hurry up. Im 37 and a couple thousand hrs now, but I feel like Im way behind.
