I don't want to pi$$ on your fire...... but how the hell do you know you will be happy as a full time instructor??? You don't even have a PPL ferchrissakes!!!
You are in the honeymoon period right now where flying is new, novel and fun.
You will spend a lot (LOT) of money and even more time getting all the tickets you need to become an instructor. Then you have to find a job which will pay you less than ANY other job in the UK.
If you really want to fly for a living then leave out the instructor part and aim for a decent well paid job flying for airlines or corporate. It is a fact that there are many despondent flying instructors out there who would much rather be flying TP or Jet but cannot get out.
On a more practical note, how do you even know you have the attributes (and skill) to be a flying instructor?.
Flying is a lot like the stories and fairy tales we grew up on as children. You have to kiss a lot of frogs before you find a Princess.
I am sure my remarks will have a lot of flak heading in my direction but someone has to tell you the hard facts.........instructing is (generally) very hard work, poorly paid, and only done for very long by those that wish they didn't have to.
Lastly, and I have said this before, the more instructors there are, the less students there will be to teach.
Instructing will give you better handling skills, but will not give you anything useful towards an airline job.
