The world is still your oyster.

Of course the first 500-1000 yours are the hardest to get in the book. Options in GA are quite limited nowadays. Shoot out resumes to EVERY passenger charter/ freight charter/parachute dropping/cattle mustering/freight running/patient moving/fire spotting/aerial photography/scenic touring/mine running/bank running mob you can get the contact details for.

My first two GA jobs we just a case of being in the right place at the right time.

Finally, don't underestimate the ADVANTAGE your age will have on some prospective employers. If the left seat of a High performance turboprop is your cup of tea, it might be a good fit. There are many variables in life and aviation...and 5 year is a LONG time! Good luck.

It's nice to see a thread like this pop up every once and a while to put things in perspective.

Hope we can all behave. Cue spelling police and grammar nazi's
