I've flown 194.6 hours of ME and 22.3 hours of SE since 7/2. That's almost exclusively flying with career students. I could have flown more if I had wanted to pick up more add-ons (I did 3 or 4 add-ons, and strongly prefer flying with career students).

Also as a heads up:
MCO (actually ORL) is a very slow base. Did my MEI/II add-ons there and the last time I looked it up I think they fly about 40 hours a month between the 2 instructors.
RDU and BHM are both 1 CFI locations, and I'd gamble they aren't super busy but I can't look up their schedule any more.

Also keep in mind once you come out of the career program you'll already have >100 hours of multi. There's nothing bad about teaching privates since you don't really need the multi time (and you'll build a lot of time that way, since each private student gets 85 hours in less than 60 days). Although I'd have to say I learned a lot teaching instruments that I don't think I would have learned if I was a private instructor.
