You want to fly, come to the US, get your license.. .You want to work, come to the US and use your license. You just have to figure out all the other incidentals on your own.. .It seems all the folks from the UK and the above Canadian seem to think you must be a rocket scientist to fly a helicopter. Not true and you also dont need to have a Masters degree from college. You want to fly, do it.. .There are cheaper ways to do things, as mentioned above get a fixed wing license and then a helicopter "add-on" rating..... Same license just financially easier. AND...yes thats a big AND you will find that Airline Pilots make one hell of a lot more money than Helicopter Pilots. You may find Fixed Wing more to your liking. They also get first shot at the better looking members of the crew (you have plenty of time for that). .Good Luck, set your goals and go for it.
