Some schools will even give you your CFII/MEI for free if you stick around for a year. Get some experience! You wont regret it! You can always go to a regional later on if you want to.
I'm with DCA in Houston. The 12K is a ballpark figure based on both CFI and CFII ratings combined.
I already completed the ground school but now I'm switching to the new Cirrus Aircraft.
Like I said, I would love to instruct and I have no issues with it, but right now I'm trying to get over that proverbial line where I start getting paid to fly instead of constantly having to shell out. I'm nearly tapped.
The way I see it, it doesn't cost me a thing to send out a few resumes.
