I felt the same way , didn't want to Cfi but ended up getting it and learned a tremendous amount from it . However the time was coming in slowly and after 500 hours of instructing I sucked it up and took a survey job . Yea it sucked being away from home but I averaged 120 hours a month and I was able to get to the remaining hours I needed to hit 1500. The Job won't come to you , you have to go to it and will most likely require being away from home .
