Default At a Crossroad

Looking for advice from the pool of experience here for which way to go.
I am a CFI working in central FL (like everyone else), trying to "build hours". I am a hard worker and have the prop turning 7 days a week racking up every .1 hr I can get. This past week, one student put my license in jeopardy with a bad descition he made on initial solo. (No violation, thank God) but it was a wake up call. I have lost all interest in CFI now due to this and realized logging 50hrs/mo instructing isn't worth what can I could be doing elsewhere. Other CFI's are leaving for C208 jobs etc that are 90+hrs/mo loggable time.
Have 13 months before my ATP written expires and 600 hrs to go for ATP mins. Which is the best direction to go to get the hours faster than at the pace of a CFI? Charter? Alaska? Pipeline? Skydiving? Crop dusting?
