Two things come to mind:

1) If you want a positive cash flow when you fly for hire, then you probably
want to line up with an on-demand charter company because maintaining your
own aircraft to Part 135 requirements takes money and probably full-time
availability for work.
2) There will be a long line of other pilots competing for whatever opening
you find at this charter company.

Not impossible but it will be a difficult road. Your best bet would be to
get your CFI and teach part time.

Thanks for your previous help, folks. I have, hopefully, one remaining
question.

At the age of 35, having resigned to a life of earthbound employment, I
just
want to know this:

If I finish my instrument rating and complete my commercial, is it
possible
to recover those training expenses flying part-time? All I want to be
able
to do is subsize my passion and increase my ratings and skills. If I
spend,
say, $10,000 earning instrument, commerical and perhaps CFI ratings, is it
reasonable to expect that I will be able to earn that back before the
final
wings are pinned on my shoulders?

In the end, it'll be worth it anyway, but what are the odds?
