The job market is swamped with relatively low-time furloughed airline pilots and unemployed instructors. Overseas might be your only hope, look into central/south America or even Africa if you really have some stones and no particular desire to live for very long.
The CFI's will have an advantage when competing for low-time jobs, since they are trained to a somewhat higher skill and knowledge level than a wet commercial.
If you don't get into the military, better get the instructor ratings. The reality is that they are almost mandatory for entry-level civilians, especially in times like these.
