When you find a club and get checked out, try and fly every two or three weeks on a multi leg flight of two or three hours. At your stage you need to keep flying, both doing landings and getting out and making decisions on x/c flights to places you don't know. Also do you have friends that would like to split the cost of a fun flight? Stay legal but get some lower cost hours in the book and in your head!

Do you have a 4 year degree? If so good if not start work, almost all the good jobs need one to get in the door.
Be careful not to get speeding or other driving convictions, if you get a DUI look for other work. Pilots with a DUI only get the sh1t jobs even in the good times.
