This should be a no brainer! Take the electrcian route!!! You'll be learning a great trade that you can use to support yourself when(not if) you get furloughed or otherwise find yourself out of work in the aviation industry. 3 years isn't that long - in today's job market it's not going to set your career back significantly. Take the electrician gig, instruct part time, if when your 3 year program is over you still want to fly airplanes for living instruct full time and do the electrician thing part time to support yourself - it sucks making $12-$16K a year as a full time CFI.
