I have even considered paying for a 737 type ($$$$)
Who should I apply too..?
I doubt that this is help, but I'm sure you know that there are too many pilots at the moment. That may change in the next few years, but you need something now.

Paying for a type is completely worthless currently. Who would hire you? Honestly, try and find a job with zero time in type anywhere on the planet.

Getting on with one of the regionals that you've "heard about" will get a teeny, tiny pay check coming in. Like $1000-ish a month after taxes. Is that going to work for you? You'll be competing with young adults less than half your age who will do it for free, or even pay to do it. If you have a "clean record" now, in general, some regionals have no problem changing that for the worse. Just getting the job puts your record at risk.

I'd go get a "real" job for now, while you keep looking.

What were you typed in? How many turbine PIC hours?
