I am currently flight instructing as well right now which isn't a bad job. But I am finding it hard to believe that mastering slow flight,steep turns, stalls, and ground ref. is gonna help me progress to the next level. The only thing that I find beneficial is teaching instrument students. Great Lakes pay is really low and I would be making less money but I am looking more towards being challenged, flying a bigger, faster, more advanced aircraft. Building turbine time getting an upgrade and then building PIC turbine time. Its a tough decision to make, I have something relatively stable right now but I want to advance my career in market where the hiring at other regionals is nil, hence my problem. I am sure I am not the only one in this position so any advice is greatly appreciated.
