Where next? Flight instructor

I've just passed my PPL (a) and would love to train as a flight instructor.

I have a family so would not want to be away from home so have ruled out working in Commercial airlines etc. I had been planning to do atpl/cpl and instructor courses but I've been advised that I may be better to get a microlight rating and do a microlight instructor course instead of the route I was considering...

Does anyone have any opinions or ideas on this? What are the pitfalls? Anyone have any relevant experience of these options? What is the general consensus about microlight (fixed wing) instructing versus aeroplane instructing?

Many thanks
