If you are in the left hand seat and on a Ryanair contract at a base close to your home Ryanair is a pretty reasonable job. They are starting to offer more options for part time work too (at least in the UK.)
If Rome is where you want to be, basing shouldn't be too difficult as CIA and FCO are both decent-sized bases with a high degree of permanence. Operating out of FCO is a massive pain in the backside though. If you are looking elsewhere, be aware Ryanair expands, contracts, opens and closes small bases on a whim and you might find yourself suddenly needing to move at very short notice as has recently happened in BLL, PSR, GRO, BRE and HHN.
