I guess I should be more clear. I didn't have to instruct after college at all. I have about 1400 dual given while I was still in college. The cfi job got me a deal flying a malibu, columbia 400 and a 310 on the side for a group of doctors. We flew all over the western us and down to mexico and the caribbean. Fbos are a good place to pick up stuff like that. Thats another bad deal about the big flight school or aviation universitys, generally you can only fly their planes. If I had done that route I wouldnt have gained a lot of the experience that I have now. I am now going to one of the top regionals at the end of this month, I graduate from college in about a week. In my opinion there is nothing that sharpens your skills like teaching. You don't really learn until you teach is how the saying goes.
