Where to go next?
Hi all!
I been wanting to be part of aviation, since I was 10yrs old.
Born at the border(Mexico-USA) on the Mexican side :-) 4 blocks!!!
Colombian citizen and pretty soon I ll have to choose one,
I believe, since I ll be a US citizen soon.
I have a 1yr in the Colombian police! (Mandatory)
I have a 1yr in the Colombian Air Force(voluntary)
Register with the US armed forces, if ever need me!
This Friday with a little bit of luck, I will pass
My powerplant OnP, already an A; so soon an A&P.
Have around 350hrs tt and didn't take the OnP for my CPL
A year ago, when I was ready, at least according to my logbook, because I wanted to be 1000%: I can say after 32 yrs of wanting to be
A pilot: I am a Proffessional commercial Pilot,
It means a lot to me to be where I am today.
Soon should have my CPL(O&P pending)
Right after my CPL I have great interest in helicopter CPL add on!
To sum it all up:
I would love to find the "dream job" in corporate and stay there till 100yrs old!
But reality is: bills need to be paid and dream jobs are just that!
Should I try to get a flying job, whatever it may be:
Banner,jump,crop,Alaska,CP,who knows, till I can get enough hrs to get a decent pay!( to me at the moment is 40k to 60k)
Is it better to get an A&P job then switch to the flight dept?
Should I pursue a helicopter job better instead? (No idea what they are, besides emt ,police or oil rigs, all cool gigs if u ask me.
Did the A&P and will do the heli to be open to opportunities!
However I don't have a BA nor plan on getting it, if I had one I'd would have joined the USAF reserves
Any thoughts, recommendations, suggestions, strategies.
Willing to travel far... Asia far lol
Thank you guys, I am aware of is a big decision but your thoughts highly appreciated.
