Mr Wingbar.
Is there no way you could do IT during the week and instruct part time on the weekends? I've look at this thread from time to time and it seems you were getting things sorted with a job that will ease the pressure of your debt, which I think is the key thing here. If you are in debt you need to take decisive action and stick to your guns. Is your latest return to instructing backed up by a plan that will see you work towards financial solvency? Mate as hard as it may be for you to palate right now, you need a full time job to pay your way through the next few years. If you can find a ground based job in aviation great, but for 34K a year it is going to be something similar to your IT role - office based looking out the window type stuff - that will still leave you longing to be in the air. Personally I think you had a ticket out of your predicament with the IT job.
If you stick at it you will get there, you have to believe that. The most direct route out of debt should be your priority right now, not the most direct route to a better paid flying job. It might not have seemed like it sat behind that desk but the IT job could actually be the best and most expedient way of combining and achieving both those goals.
All the best mate.
