Just a note from me, I have never paid for a type rating and never will reason being is that a couple of my friends paid for a type rating on a jet and still can't get any work on one, what they are doing now is paying a airline lots of money to fly to stay current. What you get is this airline getting flight crews to fly their jets and the crews paying them to work, all that happens is that the crews who are paying to work get further and further into debt and the airline just keeps collecting the money.
Another point is that one of the major uk airlines took on a couple of people who self financed a type rating during this year and they failed to make the grade once they were employed, as a result the chief pilot said they would no longer take on anyone who self financed a type rating.
Just be positive the market is improving all the time and soon you will get there without having to part with more money e.g. Britannia are recruiting along with other airlines and they are paying for the training.
Good luck with what ever you decide.
