Well said CFI.
If looking for a flying school, research and see if there pilots are full time award pilots. If not, go else where. You will also find the quality of training will be higher at a more professional school who treats their instructors as professionals. It will pay off in the long term if you spend a little extra now.
Better still, look for a school who has an instructor or 2 who has seen some variety in the industry and can also mentor the younger instructors.
My first instructor was an ex AG pilot, Regional pilot and former Cat A (an old qualification). Having said that, I still fly like !!!!e
