Sorry but I think that if you find yourself at the bottom of the heap, there are two possible causes:
- you're not worth your pay (less likely)
- you wanted to do the pilot (maybe any other job here) but the market does not need it. I wanted to do the astronaut, but they didn't respond to my resume.
You should study to become a requested professional, not the one you dreamed of and stay unemployed. After that, if you sign a "terrible" contract you can simply blame yourself.
