I Don't need to make a living at it. I Don't even need to get paid ;-)

Is flight instructing not an option? What's the ultimate goal?

I don't really want to instruct, but I haven't thrown the idea out
just yet.

Given what I could expect to earn (if I were able to find a
paying pilot job today) I couldn't afford to leave my current
job (I'm a computer software architect), so I'm looking for a
way I can build hours.

Eventually, I would like to get a paid pilot position doing
non-ATP type flights.
