Exactly.

No one in the industry cares about seeing a CFI on the resume. What they care about is seeing the CFI AND dual given. It is what you did with that CFI that makes the difference.

With that being said if you have no intention of ever using the CFI for even a single hour of dual given then I suppose there is no point. If you could however get the CFI rating and take some of those 400 SE hours you get per year to use then you could be in business. Do some BFRs, IPCs, FAM flights etc.

I will also add that it is an honor and a privilege to have the CFI rating on your cert. You now have the power to fulfill dreams of flight. Yes, we all know aviation is not much of a "dream" but for the 16 year old kid on his first solo or the 60 year old man who finally realized his lifelong goal that has been put off for years it is truly an honor. It enables you to improve yourself every flight as well as strive to make every student of yours better than you.
