Time on Type Vs Instructors rating

Hi All,
Like many others I find myself in the awkard position of having finished all the flight training with no job to go to and very little market movement, both now or in the coming months. I have also gone one step further and got myself an A320 TR which was based on a job that fell through in February of this year - the bank loves me right now! Great rating, zero hours.

I've been working away being the desk saving what I can and trying to get the first right hand seat job but with zero success. I'm trying to suss out what would be better, paying for the Instructors rating and trying to get a job instructing (cost about £9-10K all in) or take the final financial plunge and use an organisation to get time on type for a shed load more about £25K for 500 A320 hours. I'm at the point now where I'm too far in to stop (where have i heard that before?!?!) and can maybe just afford one final punt.
I welcome any opinions and views because I am getting nowehere quickly with this!

Cheers.
