Where are you looking at doing your mustering? If it is in Australia, your chance of getting into the industry are NIL. Station owners will not employ a person without station experience. The norm is for an experienced station hand to be sponsored for his pilot's licence in the best scenario, or pay for his/her licence in the worst case. Do not think for one minute that cattle mustering is easy, as you will be flying in the Dead man curve at all time. Cattle is very tricky to work and have induced many incidents/accidents for low time pilots. Australia leads the way in stock mustering. I have great respect for these pilots for their flying ability, and speak from first hand experience, having had the privilege to be shown what to and not to do in extreme situations. Having said all that, my main flying is in Tourism, a much safer and 9-5 environment. Good luck.
