Go get your instructor ratings, even if you don't want to use them it's still something good for your resume. In fact, you really don't have any other options, plus you'll learn more as an instructor in the first couple months than you would after a year of traffic watch or aerial survey or whatever. You will most likely not find work doing anything besides instructing anyway (even instucting jobs are pretty hard to find right now) with your qualifications. For the record, I'm the same age as you with nearly 3000tt, 1500multi, 2000pic and 1100 cfi. I have an atp-cfii-mei, 4 year degree and I can't find a flying job. I've sent out a couple hundred resumes. Good luck and be realistic, take what you can get and make yourself as qualified as you can. Also, the military would be a great option for you. I'm working on getting a slot right now but as you might know, it's not the quickest process so even if you decide to pursue that route, you'll want to have something to do in the meantime. Best of luck!
