Not dreaming Jake, take a look at Skymark (they will be on the fair) they are a good option in your case, also apply to any job that you are interested in, I have a couple of friends that have been hired in the past couple of years as DEC's in jobs that had the 500 hours as part of their requirements and they weren't even rated, let them be the ones that disqualify you, don't do it for them so just apply and see what happens. Good luck
