No. No way are you getting hired to fly a part 121 jet aircraft at 200 hours. Regionals = 1500 hours. Universities will bring this number down, but not to 200.
Plan on instructing. Enjoy it. It can be fun and it is a useful part of your career.
How long will I have to instruct for after I graduate?
