That's what I had to do, I found a part time job that offers full benefits so that when I start training full time this summer my family won't be without medical insurance.
I actually interviewed for a part time sworn position for the county conservation/parks department when I was midway through private but decided against it since they had no benefits. I will definitely look into that more when I'm getting close on my Commercial/CFI and see what other agencies may offer.
