Get an instrument rating of some flavour - maybe not M/E, but at least know (ie be trained) how to fly with less than visual reference.
First job likely to be in the NT - therefore, possibly caught out in weather during the Wet, or potentially more dangerous, wrestling with the haze prevalent over most of the region during the Dry due to the strong subsidence inversion. I recall flying an ILS into ASP close to minima because of this - yet there wasn't a cloud in the sky...
Many pilots have no idea about the challenges of flying in conditions of poor visibility / contrast.
Many GA companies couldn't give a toss whether a junior pilot has an I/R or not, and my point has nothing to do with being employable!
Changing the comment above slightly:
Do you want to possibly die in the industry because you weren't prepared to invest?
