The ATP and A&P could be a ticket to instruct (sim and ground) at the Major Airlines, Regionals, 135 operators and/or professional flight academies like Flight Safety. A college degree is a plus! You can obtain the CGI with three written exams: Fundamentals of Instructing (FOI), Advanced Ground (AGI) and Instrument Ground (IGI) writtens. There is no Oral or Practical. You'll obviously make more money, better benefits (non rev travel) and you can always flight instruct GA on the side.
