My advise would be to ask yourself the question do I live to fly or fly to live, fixed wing offers the prospect of a more lucrative career, rotary wing probably more excitement. Its worth spending the money and getting the best training available, helicopters HAI in CA are good prospect or someone like CSE at oxford for fixed wing. Also aim to get a licence for the area you hope to work in i.e. UK CAA Licence, US FAA and so on . Lots of people get caught have to spent more time and money doing conversations FAA to CAA etc.
