How do you fill that void between your college years and now? Any ideas are much appreciated.
One idea is to start a business in something you like while your flying. It doesn't have to be profitable. Get a business license and some business cards and if you want, do some business. I did this and used the business license as proof of my employment and never mentioned my 5 years of flying I was doing for actual money.
Or, (as was mentioned in another thread) you can say you were incarcerated. For some jobs that would be the best choice versus saying "pilot"!
