low time employment

I tried for months but there was nothing within 300 miles. Then I but the bullet, got my Cfi, and was employed a week later.

You did what with the bullet!?

Without being a CFI & having 400+ hours, you are going to be of limited use to CAP...

What's going on with all these "I don't want to instruct" posts lately? To put it bluntly: Sorry if you don't want to instruct, but unless you are well connected, options are very limited at 300TT.

Maybe its the money; after spending it on all the licenses they cant afford to get the cfi.

If you can badger your way into aerial survey, you'll get a boat load of hours. Bigger plus if you get one that operates nationwide as you'll get tons of experience with the LONG relocation flights. To this day, between CFIing, and freight, aerial survey is still the flight time I've come to value most. From a stick and rudder, CRM(yes CRM if you can believe it), SA, and especially an ADM stand point.

People say that CFIing builds up the people skills more than most other flying, but I'll argue that properly articulating to ATC/using agencies why you need to get into restricted/prohibited areas, Class Bs on the departure/approach end of the runways, or the SFRA around DC will develop your skillzzz just as well if not more.

It's a long road to your first jet job. Sometimes getting a part time job outside of aviation in order to get your CFI is better in the grand scheme of things than just job hunting for months looking for a pipeline or aerial survey job. It may not be an aviation job, but it will build some character and prove to yourself you can make it in this career field.
