What use is a CPL?

Oh, and is there really nothing you can do with CPL? Are there more opportunities if you own your own ac?
There are several things you can do with a CPL, most of which will require some kind of additional rating, for instance;

Instruct - also requires a FI(R) rating
Banner Towing
Pleasure Flights
Photography
Be a FO - will require an IR, MCC, Type rating

Getting to do any of there in the current climate will be difficult, however you are realistically about 2 years from being ready for the job market. Not sure if having your own aircraft will help much in any of the above. Maybe, in the instructor case, if you had something quite nice and desirable, that a club might lease off you, but generally no I think.
