Was there a shortage of pilots back in the 90's when they flew a turbo prop rather than a jet, had to pay $10,000 for training and made less than $15,000? A lot of those pilots had over 1500 hours and there was no shortage either.
I wouldn't flight instruct and never have. Teaching is not something I am good at or care for. I was extremely lucky and blessed to "fall into" my airline job. If I was graduating from college right now with 250 hours, I would probably do something else.
