As a retired FI with quite a few hours behind me, I assure you that you will have difficulty find a flying job that gives you greater job satisfaction. You WILL fly the aircraft, perhaps to a degree of accuracy that you did not expect, and you will have the pleasure of showing your student how to achieve the same standards. It may take a time, but when a retired airline training captain searches you out as the person who sent them on their first solo you will realise it was worth all the effort.
