I whole heartedly agree with this! Too many think that the CFI is the ONLY way to go. For lack of better words and/or motivation, that is stupid. There are so many valuable opportunities out there. Do you know what really taught me to have a good scan and situational awareness ... 135 night flying by myself! With good training, just go and do it and don't look back. You will scare yourself a few times but man was it a fun ride and valuable! Now, I'm not saying the CFI is a bad route .. it's just not a good route for those who don't want to teach. It would be a disservice to your future students. Just my two cents...
