King Air job is:
-based in Stuart,FL (30 min drive from home)
-doesn't pay particularly well

I ask virtually every pilot I come in contact with their opinion and ultimately they lean towards 121. I hear a lot of "now's the time to get in", and "if I was ur age with that time I would go for airline". Also, I can't help but feel like I'm missing out on seniority not applying now.
Go to a regional and work on your degree while you wait to upgrade. King Air TPIC and a HS diploma is not going to get you hired at a top-tier major. I'm not sure about some of the second tiers, that might be in the cards if that would work for you.
