CFI first. The first 500 hours you teach will be as foundational, if not more so, than your first 50 hours in an airplane. Get the CFI, get some cheap business cards (Vistaprint.com), be professional, work your tail off...you'll be amazed at the results.
For an employer of low time SEL dudes, a CFI shows you not only can fly, but can talk about how to fly while doing it. That level of knowledge instills confidence (most of the time). It opens up job opportunities much broader than just instructing.
Lastly, don't burn yourself out on instructing. Two student hops a day, no more.

Reason: Too much unsolicited advice to share.
