PPL America or UK????

Hello all,

Just a question for those of you in the know. I have been offered the cash to do a PPL, however I would like to know is it worthwhile me doing it in the UK or taking one of the numerous courses that are offer in America? Might I add that I am by no means made of money so the cheaper the better!!!! This PPL is possibly the first step in my aviation career, as oppose to being completed as a hobby. so in summary my questions are:

1) which is cheaper: America or UK flying school
2) WHich would give the better training as I really don't want to waste my sponsors money.
3) Which would give the best employment prospects, with regards to getting a CPL or ATPL?? (I am aware this is a different matter entirely and will be dealt with at a later date)


Your (constructive) opinions would be greatly appreciated.
