Getting paid more does not guarantee a wide and varied GA career, but moving to "Cairns" or other non-capital city airports certainly will. I took the chance to leave a job offer at bankstown as a fresh G3, headed north to instruct, and ended up flying multi charter in my first week of work (after a free initial twin endorsement). Whilst the pay was not fantastic, the opportunities to progress quickly were, and some pilots need to take that into consideration when evaluating the worthiness of a job. Having said that, we certainly are worth much more than we get!!!
