Without an airline transport pilot certificate, and with only a CPL and a few hundred hours to your name, you're very limited in what you can do for a living. Theoretically, the FAA lists all the careers a CPL-wielding pilot can legally perform.

Hi Aaditya,
If you are looking for affordable options then study in India, there are world class aviation programs and institutes here. Don't go out looking for cheaper options since the quality of training and infrastructure will be poor, on top of that licensing is not provided. Russia, New Zealand, UK, etc. are good options otherwise but always check with the institute about the license exams.
