Im looking for suggestions to other routes than the CFI way. Im currently working on my initial CFI but it looks like i wont have enough money to complete the MEI and CFII. I have been told that i need the last two to get hired by anybody as an instructor. So here is my question; Are there other jobs available to a fresh 300h pilot?

Thank you
I can tell you that the MEI is not necessary as long as you get the required multi. When I apply to the regionals, I won't have anymore than a CFI and a CFII. I was fortunate to start working for my FBO doing line so when the time came for the CFI I was instantly offered the job. We also do 135 charters so my multi is coming from that. I realize that most won't always get these kinds of opportunities but I would go ahead and get the CFI and see whats out there for 135 charter companies to get the multi. The CFI is a great way to get the required total time.
