Default Flight simulator questions.

Hello all:

As of today, I can not afford flight school and that is why I'm trying to get another job (I hope working in a near airport doing anything near planes and pilots). Mean while all the little aviation knowledge that I have I have obtained from a flight simulator (X-Plane.com) and reading what I can get my hands on. For example the FAA manuals. I was wondering how relevant that experience would be in the real world? Most of my flights are under IFR(I actually seat for the whole duration of the flight) since I really want to master instrument flighting (Instrument skill to me is like giving a new pair of eyes to a blind man). I'm also trying to master the art to SID's and STAR's and also getting familiar with the FMC. Is there anything else that I can do meanwhile I can't afford flight school to prepare myself for the future?

Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. Like someone said: "Sharing knowledge is archiving immortality"
