To skip the flight instructor stuff...jump pilot is a good compromise.
if you are already one of "them", you should not have to much trouble to make some contact.
I dropped for 3 years in various DZ in south Texas...that how i built my multi time and made some decent cash...I didn't like the idea of teaching as MEI anyway !!!
On the dark side, jump pilots are usually good with stick and rudder but on the edge with regs, so don't loose sight of your regulations book for later when you'll look for a real job.
best of luck and blue skies !!!
