I'm facing a dilemma. I would like to become an instructor, despite the poor pay, but I'm not sure of the route to take.
I am a PPL holder and am training for my CPL. When I got my student loans, they were for getting the CPL, Multi-Engine, and Multi-IFR. I've since changed my mind about what kind of career path I would like and now want to be an instructor. The thing is, I don't believe I'd be able to get more loans for the rating, in addition to what I've got already. My degree already cost me a lot.
If I forgo the MIFR, I will have enough to become an instructor, but is that wise? Do flight training establishments look for the MIFR too? Another option would be to do the single-IFR and then the instructor rating. How would flying schools view that?
Your opinions please
