The temptation to take an FO job before reaching 1200TT can be very high.
Before accepting any FO or VFR captain job always think about how many hours you can CFI on the side in that location.
If the answer is 0 or close to 0 then do not accept that job.
It is faster to build time at a busy school than any FO/ VFR captain job out there.
Flying skydivers is probably the best way to rack up time quick. I would start out being a CFI first though because it is kind of hard to get a skydiving job with no time.

I wish you gents and ladies still had the DC-3 SIC path open to you, I was blessed to find the old girl at 520 hours TT, it was more an apprenticeship than a job,but the learning, and the flying was gold. The freight dog dojo rules : ) !!!
