Get a job at your local airport in "Line Service", KTMB, KOPF, KHWO whichever is closest to you. Line Service is a job where you fuel aircraft of all shapes and sizes and are immersed in all things aviation. You will meet pilots, become educated in all forms of aviation, be it instruction, corporate, private etc. The added bonus of all this is a job in the field you aspire to advance in. You will be working with other people that have the same aspirations as you have, and are going through the same struggles you will face. You will be surrounded by people with lots of knowledge as "How to Get There" info, and the added bonus of making a name for yourself in this small (aviation) world. Networking is your friend. Trust me, It worked for me.
Good Luck to you Sir.
