Traffic watch pays MUCH less. But it's flight time...PIC even. |
Two questions:
What do you want to do long-term...be a pilot?
Can you afford to live off the lower pay?
If you want to be a pilot, I don't see how turning wrenches will help you get there faster than flying.
However, bills still have to get paid, so if the traffic watch gig would make you starve, then don't bother with it.

Didn't they give you a chute to wear? At my DZ the pilot always wears a chute. I tell the jumpers, "If you do anything stupid, screw you, I'm gone!"
It keeps them in line
