Default tell me about crop dusting.

I am interested in doing crop dusting instead / in addition to flight
instructing to build hours in order to get a good aviation job. What
kind of experience do they prefer? I know all you legally need is a
commercial liscense (which I already have), so will that be enough? Do
they want more? I know banner towing is a dangerous thing, so its
fairly easy to find a job doing that, is crop dusting the same in that
regard? Is the pay good enought for a single person like me to live off
of modestly? Can crop disting jobs found everywhere, or will I have to
move somewhere remote, like Alaska? (I currently live in Ohio.)

Could someone here who has done some crop dusting chime in here and
give me some info? For refrence, I'm 22 years old, 215 total time,
CP-ASEL-IA, soon to be CFI next week, and eventually CFII along with a
multi rating, and maybe even a MEI. Thanks.
