Keep her your fiancé, you’ll have more options. Better, if she has a professional career marry NOW and do whatever you want.
Go ahead and laugh. I had to leave this industry because my first wife had no supportive career. Then I married up and can do whatever with my career and weather any downturn. Wrap all these forums about “what should I do” together....number one thing a pilot can do is marry up. Years later that spouse will be rewarded when she can retire early.
For some of you this advice is too late.. You're a CFI, and married, with a kiddo. Good luck. For single guys, congrats. You’re half way there. Find a PA or CNP. Beware the FA. And for those who married up, sit back and enjoy the ride. The 787 awaits you. And she knows that.

Seconded. The beauty of marrying an NP is that they used to be an RN and almost certainly had a terrible schedule at some point so they're used to missing holidays, late nights, etc. Most jobs also allow some flexibility in going part-time once the kids come along and back to full-time when you get furloughed.

You need to play the system. I’m not reading the previous replied so this may have been brought up already, but you need to take the higher paying job and REMAIN as a cadet, Envoy doesn’t need to know you’re taking a 135 job? You’re just a number, and you’re already in the Cadet program, they don’t need to know you changed jobs. When I was an instructor I was a cadet with Envoy, Mesa, and Air Wisconsin, not a single one of them knew I was a cadet with someone else

How so? He's basically being euphemistic about what amounts to "this job's a hobby/treat it as a hobby". How's advocating for male-hypergamy germane to the specific question about making a living as a pilot? To a "primary payer" pilot, the implication is an outright slight.

Absolutely take the jet job. You'll gain invaluable experience working for a 135 outfit. Don't kill yourself working for a position that may not be there. Once the industry rebounds, you'll have the opportunity to go to a regional if you would like to do such and would probably be called for an interview quickly with the 135 flying on your resume.

Passing on some male hypergamy schnitzel. Who knew?
