CFII or multi-engine?

[Casey Hansen]

Hello-
I am a CFI and I'm 19 years old. I attend college for something other
than flying (although I want to fly professionally, just want a 4-year
degree). I am wondering what people's suggestions are for a next
step... the CFII or multi-engine rating? Which would be more useful at
this point in time?

I am doing instruction right now and will be this summer, so...

Thanks for everyone's suggestions in advance. :)

there is more call for CFII as opposed to ME... and most ME checks need some
IFR work... just a thought..

Unless you teach at a school that has a ME aircraft and does a lot of
training in it, go for the CFII. There is much more avialable for
CFII. Unlike Single Engine training, you can't just wait for some
student to show up at your door with a generic twin because MEIs have
to have a minimum PIC time before they can teach in the twin. As a CFI
I can teach in any single. Many of the singles I've taught in, I never
flew myself.

Hi Casey
Without question or hesitation...the CFII before the MEL. You'll log
more time as an instructor than you will in multi engine for some time
to come yet. The only way around that is to have a well to do
instrument student who wants to buy a twin and have you fly it! It
does happen.....
