If you're under age 37, ever consider a career flying for the FBI or Customs? They pay well and the benefits are good. Only prob? Flying for the FBI will keep you in the little planes all your life, but at least you'll get a fat pension.

I'm highly considering getting the CFII, yet money is tight. Does anyone know of any company (whether it is banner towing, mapping, or even flight instructing) that would be willing to hire someone with my experience. I am willing to take anything to build my hours. Seems like most places want 1000 hrs TT and pt. 61 schools want someone with 1000 hrs of dual given for instruction. Any help or clues would be greatly appreciated.
