In the absence of lots of offers coming your way, you need to consider the best way to start your apprenticeship.
Go with the first sensible offer with a multi crew operator.

If you want a really solid foundation, consider a turbo prop, flying multi sector days to a variety of airports, flying various approaches. With this experience, you are ideally placed to fly a medium sized jet. A320/B737 etc.

Those with high debt to repay often say that they must start on a jet. This is understandable, and the stronger junior birdmen will transition well.

Get the experience and then the long term job prospects will open up.
