I would say that you need to raise your standards and confidence because you can do way better for a career.

There are great jobs out there flying private jets. Fractionals like NetJets are pretty good, EMS runs the spectrum but I don't know anyone who would make it a career. 91 corporate flying can be really good or really crappy, and the job security is terrible.

For somebody looking for that first professional job, there is no quicker path to money, QOL, longevity, retirement, and a great career at the majors than through a regional. Lots of BS gets thrown around at places like AMF that gives pilots a false sense of their place in the food chain. Truth is, it's a terrible choice when you can go be a captain of a jet flying 121 in a year or two. Then the world is yours. 70k sounds good now but trust me there are ways to work less and get paid lots more.
