Getting your first job in aviation is the hardest. I highly recommend getting an Instructor certificate for two reasons. One, it allows you to build flight time and get paid for it (although very little). Two, you get to see other people's mistakes. If you get a job flying traffic watch or something like that then you are only ever going to see you own mistakes. When you teach you see everything under the sun. Take the good and bad and learn from them. Besides, you never truely understand something until you have to teach it.
