I am a new member and I apologize in advance if this is a reposted discussion. I have read through a few threads and in general I am like a lot of others, I am looking for advice on how to get into the industry.
Thank you in advance for any insight and guidance, it is greatly appreciated.

Here is a brief overview of my situation.

I have a private pilot license with 100 hours total/ 50 PIC. I have passed the
instrument written and had completed about half of the flying before I had to
move a few months back. It has been several months since I have flown.

I want to break into the aviation industry with an ultimate goal of flying. I am 33 years old, I have a 4 year degree and have been working in the social services field for about 5 years. I have other professional experience in technical fields (I made mention of these fields in case that raises a flag in my favor with a position).

I am looking to fly for regionals, freight, the US Forest Service, or something
along those lines. I understand that I have to build hours and ratings before I
can be considered for a pilot position, but what could I focus on to get in the
door with a company?

My ideal situation would place me with a company that would be willing to help me gain my ratings and flight time if I committed "x" amount of time to them.

In the interim while performing other job duties, I would need pay sufficient enough for housing, student loans, etc. Which basically means I cannot make minimum wages, however I imagine starting low on the totem pole with another company would mean something at or just above that pay.

I know I am late in the game age wise with where I should be with respect to flight time.
I am highly motivated and I am open to suggestions.
Thank you again.
