Be patient, Grasshoppah!!
I agree with dingo222, don't pay for right seat time. Best route is CFI or CFII. I have a bunch of folks flying traffic reporting for me, but that's always VFR. Good time builder, but it's all VFR time and no multi. If you can do multi- and/or -instrument instruction, you'll gain both the hours and skills needed to jump into 135 ops (which is where I am right now).
