Obtaining CPL & FI, & jobs in the US
I am looking into getting my CPL and then my FI rating in the US.
As you all know this is not cheap, so the last thing I would want to happen is to get fully qualified and then not be able to find a job.
So, can anyone tell me if there are jobs available for newly qualified instructors in the US?
I have a UK and US passport so there is no problem working in America.
I am 23 years old, I have my PPL, I have a degree, and I have just spent a year teaching English in a civil aviation collage in China.
I enjoy both teaching and flying so I would like to combine the two, and I would like to see where it all leads. Reading past comments it seems to be difficult to earn a decent living instructing so maybe I will move on to something else, but I want to stick with flying.
I do not have any real commitments so I would be willing to work anywhere.
So what are my chances? Should I not take the risk and play it safe? Pessimistic and optimistic opinions are welcome.
And if anyone has any suggestions on where to get qualified it would be appreciated.
