And like I said... I wouldn't be complaining if my "useful times" were getting me somewhere faster haha. I'm grateful for the experience I've received in such little time. But that is exactly my point... if I'm not finding a job, how hard must it be for a lot of other guys in my shoes?
Get your II!! It's cheap and you're not useful as a cfi if you dont... MEI even better. Below 500 hours there are the fewest opportunities, but the II and MEI add to those big time. Opportunities grow greatly as your time increases. I had to get over 1700 hrs mostly CFIing to get picked up by a regional 10 years ago. You can do it, too.
