Not everyone works for a regional.
Choosing to invest in yourself and additional ratings is a good thing no matter how you slice it.
Paying for a job is not a good thing, no matter how you try to justify it. (NOTE: for clarification this is not directed at Beech, just a general opinion of mine.)
It sounds like you generally did do everything right though. No debt and no 141 pilot mill. Keep going down the paths less traveled and you'll do fine and have more fun.
