Instrument Belt Notch

I’m not sure why I haven’t gotten really excited about this yet. Without a lot of pomp and circumstance, I passed my instrument rating checkride this past Tuesday. I felt solid about the material and the flying, so I wasn’t worried about not passing, but I worked really hard to get it done and now it is.
Maybe I know that without a goal to work towards, I probably won’t fly as much for a while. Maybe it’s because I haven’t been able to use the rating yet. Maybe it’s because I don’t know what to work towards now.
I know that there will be times I will use my instrument rating, but I’m not sure what I would use a multi-engine rating or a tailwheel endorsement or even a commercial rating.
I really want to get a commercial rating, but I’m not sure what I would do with it. I don’t want to instruct and I don’t want to become an “on call” pilot for a charter. I would love to earn some money as a pilot, I just don’t know how to get there.
