If you have an FAA ticket mate i’d look at UAV inspection work. I’ve just been laid off ‘due to financial restructuring’ and am finding jobs, contract and freelance, few and far between. I’d imagine as a trainee it’s near impossible to get hired at present. I came across this which might be of interest to you?
