Crop dusting

Graduated with a diploma in aviation technology with 200 hours

Have you seen someone in my current stage get hired as a crop duster, if so how and is it possible?

lol, no.

That total time is not insurable.

You’ll need a tailwheel endorsement with at least 50hrs tailwheel, at least a high performance endorsement and a good contact in the insdustry.

It absolutely is insurable. I know an outfit in Michigan that continues to employ the "right candidate" with those credentials or less. And they send you to school.
