There’s also a CFI, of course, but I’ve been told that is not a place to go to make money.
Not true. There are career CFI's out there that make a decent living with a comfortable QOL. You may have to move to California, Texas, Arizona, or Florida where weather allows you to fly all year long. Try looking into part 141 schools.
