Fill out an application with airnet and update it monthly. They'll pay you to build your time but it might be a while before you get a look. In the meantime flight instructing isn't too bad and I don't think that everyone fails their checkride but I'm not gonna lie it does happen more often than any other. Theres also aerial mapping. Try Northern States Aviation or Rochester Aerial Mapping. Flying jumpers is ok I did it for a while. The airplanes are usually pretty marginal and the jumpers tend not to care much for pilots or the law but maybe others have different experiences. The best advice is just keep flying whenever you can and don't pay for anything that isn't going to get you a rating.
