Don't throw the baby out with the water. I am almost certain that there are some FBO's or flight schools here in the southeast florida area (Indian River, St Lucie, Martin, Palm Beach, Broward & Miami-Dade counties) that are in need of CFI's. Shop around. Once you get the proverbial 1000 hours TT and 100 ME, Gulfstream Airlines wouldn't be a bad place to be, because it sounds like you don't want to leave the state of Florida initially in terms of starting your flying career.
Don't pft.
All the best. Blue skies.
