According to the FAA, the CFI is the pinnacle for Pilot Licenses.  It is an often necessary license in order to advance one's career in aviation, but also will allow the pilot to learn more flying knowledge than any other rating.  Most pilots once finished with their training, become instructors as their first career as a pilot, and teach fellow aviators the "tricks of the trade", as they earn the necessary hours to move up to bigger iron.
