Advice for a young whipper snapper

I know this is a common thread however it is an ever changing climate so I am after some fresh advice.

I am 20 years old, CPL with MECIR in the next 2 months. Just under 200 hours (CPL was integrated 150hr).

I have the avenue of scraping some money together for an Instructor Rating which I would love doing for a few years to develop my knowledge and confidence OR getting out there and finding a job.

I am prepared to rough it for a while, packing up the van and hitting the road but in everybody's honest opinions will I rack up the hours that I could instructing and for that matter learn and experience as much?

There are so many pros and cons to both avenues but like I said I'm after some fresh food for thought Thanks
