The guaranteed instructor job cherry they dangle to lure people in is a joke in this market. You will get tons of job offers once you get your CFI and even some like Falcon will pay for your CFI if you will go work for them.
I will also add that while you will get a tax deduction while you are a CFI, once you get a job at a regional you will likely make too much to claim the deduction. Then what happens if you fail a check ride or fall out of a regional training class and can't find another job for 6 months or worse you have a health condition that is a disqualifier and now you have 100+ in pilot training debt you can't do squat with.
