Best of luck with all your flying. Hope it goes well.
It will be cool for you to be an instructor. I am sure teaching people to land a C-172 will make you a much better airline pilot. Then you will have many former students who can walk your resume in after you get tired of doing pattern work. You can then swing the gear for your former students...they will be in the left seat and you will be in the right. Just like old times!!! HAHA
There is nothing wrong with being a flight instructor...just make sure the time you are building will help you get a job. Cross Country time...Actual Inst. ME time. etc.

Do you have to take the written once employed by a 121 in order for it not to expire? Or can you have it done beforehand and then get hired, and you don't have to worry about it expiring?

My advice is to finish your degree before you start working for an airline. Enjoy college and your flight training/instructing in the meantime. Enjoy the journey. When you start flying a jet, you'll find it's slightly overrated.
