I am in a similar situation and I agree with everyone else's answers here. Try to do as much instructing on the side or even work at a local fbo. The networking is the big thing. My current employer I met at a flight school and now he is talking about buying some heavy metal and giving me a second job as a sales manager. Bigger planes, bigger paycheck, more/diversified experience only because I worked on networking and stuck with it. Keep the right attitude and you'll be getting where you want to be in no time.
