Do both... see if you can go part time at the tech job or job share or go half time and fly your a$$ off to get that CFI...
Like others have said... if you still have the burn by time you start teaching, then you may make a better informed choice.
That's the way I did it years ago, it worked out pretty darn well for me.
Do what you love and you will love what you do!

Make a difference. That'd be nice, but feeding your family (ie taking care of yourself should come first). Sorry, but I definitely don't care if I "make a difference" as an airline pilot, nor did I even factor that in to my decision matrix when I decided to do this.

Having work experience outside of aviation will give you a better perspective and leave you less vulnerable to the "fear of starting over" tactics that the airlines use to force through pay and benefit cuts. I definitely think being a bit more mature than the guy who enters the commercial pilot ranks at 23 is a good thing.
