36k as CFI is perfectly doable

My advice would be to aim for CFI and start working on those lessons plans and knowledge test. CFI certificate involves more preparation work and study than flying.
Keep a good attitude and keep sending resumes everywhere.

But on the plus side you get to wear a nice orange reflective vest 2 sizes to big that gets in the way of everything. And have the FAA watching your every move. I just turned down an offer from the DO. He says the new Alaska safety culture is entirely his doing and wants everyone to know that. Turned him down on the spot. Never met someone with a bigger ego.

This is just my perspective, and maybe I just haven't had enough experience to see an ego as a huge red flag. Thoughts?
