Its not an easy transition to make but it is rewarding. Just be prepared for the ups and downs that go with it.
I am a Commercial Pilot as well as the Head of Training of a busy school in Jerez. I teach and examine everything from PPL to Class and Type Ratings. Splitting my time between the two jobs gives me an income equivalent to the Lo Co Captains and the ability to chose when and how I want to work.
But its taken many years to get into this position and its not been a cheap route. So you need to understand that certainly for a few years while you gain the Instructional experience and qualifications to expand on it you are going to be on the bread line!!!
Teaching is an incredibly rewarding career and as our forum title states its not the lowest form of aviation, its varied and demanding and never routine!!!
