Don't forget to look into flight instructing as well. It is one of the best ways of gaining experience in the industry and is a very handy rating to have.
If you want to go instructing just to build hours without making 100% effort, forget it. The last thing this industry needs is people passing on substandard skills to the next generation of pilots.
I'm sure you wouldn't want your instructor to be half hearted in their efforts to teach you?
