Ask yourself some questions and answer them brutally honestly.

1. Can I afford the money for the FI rating, along with the time needed to invest in myself?

2. If there was no option of ever flying for an airline, would I seriously consider it as a career choice?

3. Do I really want to do this? Can I cope with teaching, spending an entire day doing circuits for the umpteenth time with someone I wouldn't even consider sharing a beer with outside of work?

4. Am I capable of enjoying instructing regardless of aeroplane type, student type, weather, lack of money?

5. Am I going to become trapped into PPL instructing due to lack of funds? Do I have a get out if it should be required?

6. Did I want to instruct before the market turned belly up?
