Stick, Absolutely. New pilot you are quite ahead of the game since you are in no debt.
Go to a local flight school, make contacts there and perhaps get your CFI with that local flight school. I am sure they would bring you on as a part time CFI. So you will still be in the game, staying current, and buidling time. That's what I would do. But first visit local flights schools within an 1 to 1.5 hour driving radius from your home and if they are looking for CFI's, get your CFI rating with that school. I am sure they would employ you. Might be worth a shot.
