Can't agree more with those above me. I was in the same shoes, but I had my CFI and 300 hours...just didn't want to flight instruct. I applied to every low-time company I could with the 300 hours and ended up with an interview from one. I denied the interview due to thing I had heard about that company and ended up giving in and flight instructing. Just got my CFII and about to start my MEI.
