Two type ratings!? You must be paying a motsa for that!

Even though it's good to plan ahead, plan for things to be completely different once you graduate so you will have to be adaptable as the industry has changed a bit over the last 5-10 years. (Pilot shortage, GFC, Skilled pilot shortage looming, GFC MK II?)

If you want to stay in a capital city, get in to instructing.

There are so many different ways to get in to the industry and so many different stories you hear from people who got in to some niche part of the industry or just happened to be in the right place at the right time and "jumped the queue" a little bit by getting on to bigger and better aircraft with a basic CPL.
