Default Taking the long road

So ever since I was a kid its always been a dream of mine to fly.

Later on in life hearing the "what do you want to be when you grow up..." in school, I really began and started to think. So when I turned 9 my mom payed for me to have a few lessons at 5R4 (Foley Municipal). They were unlogged, but as far back as I can remember, even at 9 years old I recall flying to come natural to me.

So here I am, 22 years old and still without a pilots license. Im close, about 10-15 more hours and I should be good to do.

Heres my problem:

Since im not going the military route due to unforseen college issues, I was offered a decent job out of high school and went straight into the local workforce. I live in KPNS so anyone who knows this area knows the money really isnt that great over here, but im trying.

I dont really have a set goal as to start making money flying, the problem is, I really wouldnt know where to start. One to help build up hours with a commercial and instrument rating.

Help?

Ive thought about a few options, but what do these companies look for as far as flight time for guys like me? I hear sign pulling is a good starter business to get into, but what about being a ferry pilot for Cessna, Piper, etc? My real question is, for someone with ambition and a desire for a flying career for me, what would be a good (acceptable to the flying world) start?

Thankyou in advanced for the helpful tips!
