Unless mil aviation is available, or otherwise a benefactor can put you in a position to gain turbine PIC without the indignity of regional FO pay dynamics, I would pursue medical training and leave the flying as a recreational pursuit, perhaps pursue professionally part-time as the required experience is gained in time.

When the GA user fees come and 3rd Class medical reform fails, doctors, lawyers, and hedge fund managers are going to be the only people who can afford to fly recreationally ---- In airplanes made in China.

I don't know many pilots that own turbine equipment.

Become a Physicians assistant or nurse practitioner and fly on the side.
