Beech90....I hope you are able to find a job with acceptable QOL. You have an additional problem for the time being....you are too young to be hired even if you had the written passed. Unfortunately, to be in either seat, you have to have be type rated and have your ATP. You are to young to hold the ATP.
The good news is that though it's not what you wanted, by the time you reach the magic age of 23 there may indeed be a variety of airlines that have a program that will qualify you to take the written without having to pay the $4500.
