Hi Trendkill,
What you need to realise is that there is no shortage of low houred pilots. Therefore the market is very tight for them. Very rarely does a low houred guy go straight to a medium sized jet unless they are on some (very expensive) scheme.
The chances are you'll have to do some flight instructing or shift countries to find your first job. It does get easier once you're working and gaining experience but there's always another hurdle you need to jump.
All of us who weren't on some scheme has faced what you're facing. It's tough and not every one will make it. (That is, get a decent job that pays well)
If you can keep your costs down it will give you the flexibility to take the interesting jobs that don't necessarily pay that well but will give you great experience.
Good luck.
