Back in the Saddle

I was wondering if anyone with a little more experience then me could shed a little light on my situation, (any criticism is welcome). I graduated with a commercial aviation diploma 3 years ago however I felt that I bit off a little more then I could chew and came out of the program with roughly $90,000 in student loans. Being completely strapped for cash I landed a job as an MWD operator putting navigation systems in oil wells and in a little over 2 years I paid back $82,000. I had a master plan to pay off all my loans bank about $150,000 then go up North and fly for peanuts to get my hours. Well the price of oil tanked as you all know and I was laid off, I am currently working as a first year electrician living pay cheque to pay cheque. I would like to get back in the air but seam to be a little stuck right now... Any suggestions, advise and tidbits of information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and Godspeed.
