So here I am I my soapbox . . . . WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO????

Stick with Aviation or leave it? I was in a similar dilema a few months back on hard times, but one of the most important suggestions I can make it education and goal setting. What type of flying do you want to do?

I ran into this about a year ago on trying to get into an Air Ambulance outfit. In order to make myself more marketable (who wants to hire a green 22 year old punk with a Citation type and 1,300 hours?).

I decided to finish my Aviation Administration degree and take on part-time firefighting and EMS in the community. Taking this on and earning EMT and FF helped establish that I was serious about the position and allowed me to gain entry a potential full-time job.

If you want to do coporate - try starting off in a business professional position and flying part time.

All I got bud - hope it works. Just keep trying - it can't be a crappy economy forever.
