JAA vs FAA licenses. America vs Europe

My initial plan was to undertake integrated training in Europe. However, I am not planning on paying so much money (120.000 Euro's) for licenses I wouldn't be able to use inside my Country as there are no jobs. As far as I know, there are no jobs in Europe at all. My other plan was to do it the modular way as it's much cheaper. But the problem is that I do not see a future in Europe when it comes to jobs. I am also not looking to spend money on my own type rating either.

From what I have read it's much more of a hassle to stay current with a JAA license than it is with a FAA license. Is this true? For some reason I have a feeling that Americans have it easier.

At the end of the day, I want to fly for any airline in the world and I am open to doing flight training anywhere in the world as I have lived in many places and can adapt easily.

What do you guys recommend me to do?
