Stay in this industry/ leave this industry... Whatever but dont waste your money buying multi time. Sadly, if you havent already realized it, you missed your window. WELCOME TO AVIATION! Your now gonna try to compete with people with thousands of hours of jet time and having a few more multi hours is not going to help. When the indusrty swings around once again your gonna need more that 50 multi hours.
Listen to the guys on this site. Get the MEI and get working at a well established flight school even if you have to move. Make sure they have a multi program and work your way up.
