I think that you really need to ask yourself what you'll be able to offer any potential students.
Becoming an instructor just so that you can get a job is not the right reason to be an instructor.
In my opinion the best thing that you can do is go up north and learn how to fly, because at the moment your license is just that, a license to learn. You'll be a much better pilot and if you later decide that you want to be an instructor you'll at least have some real experience to pass on.
I've flown with 2500hr grade 1 multi IFR training approved pilots who didn't know how to set up for an ILS nor how to fly the approach in vmc let alone at night in heavy rain with cloud at the minima and minimum fuel.
Then I've flown with guys that have been up north or out west that have gotten out of their comfort zone that can fly rings around most, with less than 1500hrs.

good luck.
