Default anyone know were to start looking

I live in Souther California and Have My Commercial Single and Multi, Instrument land as well as a BS from Embry-Riddle AZ. I was wondering if anyone knew were I could go for a posible lead on the traffic watch, low time builders?? any info would be a great help. Since I spent all my money at Embry Riddle and have very little time.

Look at skydive drop zones. The season just started into full force. I always see jobs out there, that is how i built most of me time. Some places will even put you up on the dz for free.

Not to ruffle any feathers, but didn't Flying Vikings had some big tiff a few months back about some MX issues? I've heard some scary stuff from a few of their instructors.
