I worked at a mechanic's assistant for about a year, great experience, and you learn the systems of the airplanes you're learning to fly on. Plus if you're smart, and not lazy (like I sometimes am) you'll log everything you did and can work towards that A&P which will always come in handy for a second career option. I got my job just by going to the local airports and asking around.
