Buying a Type Rating

I know no-one wants to part with another £20,000 after stumping up £50,000 to position oneself under the bottom rung of the ladder......but it's something I'm thinking of doing having recently secured my CPL/IR. I want to get on with my career ASAP and if I have to, I would rather take the financial hit NOW and be in a position to earn a jet salary in a few years' time.......

In a perfect world I would like to instruct for a few years, fly for a non-profit organization in bongo-bongo land for a few more, fly with a turbo-prop operator etc etc etc. However I'm well into my thirties and time is not on my side.

I'd be grateful for any advice anyone may have - I understand Aestreus have an expensive scheme whereby you end up with 100 hours line training and then get booted out at the end. Any info/advice welcome.
