G-spot - don't be such a smart arse.
As far as integrated courses go - Oxford, Cabair, Jerez are the big three really. There are other routes to getting the licence such as the modular route (probably around 2/3s the price and you can go at your own pace). There are many more modular schools to choose from and if you could find one near where you live, you wouldnt have to fork out the huge sums for accomodation. Where are you based?
Regarding jobs at the end of your training, I believe its just luck of the draw. You could have a look at
www.ppjn.com - that will give you a rough idea of what the airlines are paying.
Hope that helps
