Sorry for the dumb questions I thought it would be a good idea to ask the people who have gone through this before.
I flew skydivers. A lot of people Flight Instruct. I've also come across a few who did aerial mapping and photography.
As to which is best, I would say whichever allows you to fly the most. If you live in a colder part of the country, skydiving places won't be open year round. Flight instructor jobs can build a lot of time, but you can also sit around with no students for lengths of time depending in the flight school.
