If you go with a younger instructor (age 20-30) they are there for hours
until they can get a better job as I am finding, some of the even admit it.
I told my instructor that I wanted to learn all the way so I could teach
people and she looked at me puzzled and asked me WHY?

I'm just about to go out on my own (solo practice) and it's been taking so
long, I've been doing solo circuits for months now, but not with consistancy
because I can't get out there because priority seems to go to the flight
school's college students, which my instructor is assigned to. Funny, I
don't seem to pay any less so why should I get lower priority.

are awfully hard to find.

I just "interviewed" a couple at local flight schools by taking little
flights with them, ostensibly just for rust removal.

There's no way I'd hire them for instrument training. It is
tough to find an instructor who really knows his stuff, is a good
teacher and is congenial enough that I'd be willing to spend 10's of
hours in a cockpit with him/her.

Just an observation. I don't expect anyone to have a solution.
