You're taking the wrong approach Giles.
Many of us have sacrificed and suffered for years trying to accomplish our dreams.
That gives us a dim view of people that want all for free in life.
'Paying your dues' is a worn out cliche but still applies.
Where a will is find a way grasshopper.
Go to your local airport and find jobs to do. Get your face and your name out there.
When I was a CFI we had 3-4 kids over the years that washed airplanes to accumulate flight time.
Many, many of us started as line guys pumping gas.
I personally know somebody who was hired into the right seat of a turbo prop while pumping gas.
