Aka work as a pilot somewhere else in a more entry level job.
Ramp or gate agent/checking would probably be good exposure.
Different shifts will help in the continuance of your flight training.

As far as jobs that could be helpful:
Work at the FBO or on the ramp at your local airport.
One of my CFI students got hired right off the ramp into the right seat of a turboprop. Apologized that he couldn’t finish his CFI training with me.
I have been strongly considering working the ramp for one of the airlines at KSTL. The problem is i make decent money where I am at right now, and the ramp would be a sizable pay cut. I've seen a few postings for crew schedulers, would you recommend that?
