At you level....get a job... any job......get some experience so you can get another , better job and so on. Start applying to everybody you have a REALISTIC chance with.....if you get an offer and you can swing it...go. if you get multiple offers ...chose and go. the pay will suck but it would be crazy to spend thousands getting the ME time you THINK you need. Even if you go to some place like Great Lakes ....big deal... get in.. get trained... get 500 hours and move on.. (disclaimer...hoping you are single, no kids,,, and can move around freely)
