That I completely disagree with. If you stick to a plan, and the market changes, you might have just back-tracked.
Most are
Get ratings
Get a CFI Gig
Pay for some multi time
Get Regional Job
go from there.
That was my plan originally, but instead of paying for multi time, I got a 135 freight job, flew 2000hrs, then got a gig working for a Socata and Piper dealer. One of the best jobs ever in that I fly random anything from 2-seat singles to (rarely) twin turboprops. Most time is in TBM's and Meridians/Mirage/Matrix's.
I quit this january to farm full-time with my dad, but I still fly part-time for them, and a few contract jobs and CFI work
To say the least, never saw that 11yrs ago when I headed off to college, 7yrs ago at my first job, or even while I was at the latest. You just never know what is out there for you, but keep your eyes open and grab that opportunity if you have a good gut feeling about it. I have zero regrets on my choices on jobs.
