All very true... especially the part about how tough the training is. Be ready and willing to be in class/studying about 14 hours a day (in my last training evolution, 14 was about average: some maybe 10 and one whacko who was going nearly 20 hours a day).
One word of caution: you had better be near-perfect on your instrument procedures. You will be learing a new aircraft, in a new enviornment (two pilot crew), and probably in much more complicated airspace/ATC; in the sim is no time to puzzle out the entry to a hold.
If you choose to instruct, try to get more of the instrument students. IMHO it is harder and more boring work than the primaries, but it won't take too long until you are able to fly all types of procedure turns and holds in your sleep.
