Default A&P to Pilot? Advice?

So I am thinking about making a little bit of a career switch, sorta. I am an A&P with the I.A. cert. and would like to work as a pilot so here is my plan. I currently have my commercial with a little over 400 hours TT with about 100 hours of wildlife survey time last spring. The path I am goin for would be Tailwheel endorsment, Seaplane add-on rating, then CFI. Get a couple hundred more hours of instructing then try to work in Alaska during the summers and instruct and do some annual inspections back in the Seattle area during the winter. Maybe a pipe dream but after a decade of full time wrenching I'm getting a little bored. Anyone else been down this path? I am 39 y.o. so I figure now or never. Thanks!
