anyone have suggestions for what to do for the next 1-3 years? I'm at a complete loss and my only marketable skills are pushing buttons and flipping switches and warming the right seat of a 152

Uncle Sam is always hiring. Enlist or OCS if you have a degree. Instead of drinking your pay stay current at a local flying activity/club on the side. Then you can check a veteran block when the market opens back up.

ISR jobs are going away too. The biggest player in the industry will be cutting many pilots at the end of the year, thus, those that are worried they are on the chopping block have already gotten employment elsewhere. The typical companies that ALWAYS have jobs postings, have not had one up for a while. Either way, same as everywhere, competition will be fierce. I'm afraid anyone without a current clearance and the ability to meet PIC requirements will not be in the running.

Lot of mil pilots who have gotten out over the past 3 years due to the hiring wave that are near the bottom of the seniority lists (therefore at furlough risk) who will get those ISR jobs over you. Most likely their security clearances are still good which is a big cost savings for the hiring company and means they can start much sooner.
