BigD,
Spot on.

Don't be put off. It's not an easy walk.
Do not target the airlines because it's true, virtually all of them want 500 hours, which you do not have at this stage.
The trick is, as I said before, to target GA operators at the bottom of the food chain; SEP work that is.
Start off there, do a good job, be professional right from the start, learn, have fun, make friends. While on the job you will be watched by fellow pilots and earn a reputation - good or bad. If you're hard-working and fun to hang out and have a beer with after work, doors will open.
What's your total time? 400 yet? There's an ad on LPJ.com.
Best of luck!
