Question Alternative to Airlines...?

Hey

Can anyone recommend a piloting job to aim for that isn't an airline pilot? Airline pilots are probably the best payed pilots out there, but it takes a lot of money to get there and there are apparently not many airline pilot jobs about. So, are there an pilot jobs that have better prospects and don't cost an absolute bomb to get to? I heard the corporate jet sector seems to be doing OK, but you also need a lot of experience to get there... any jobs that would be good to getting there?
To sum up, I guess I'm looking for a flying job that is attainable if you're not rich; pay's decent money (I don't want to get rich, I wanna fly); will be around for a while; and is fun! Am I being unrealistic?

Ta!
