Wannabee looking for advice

I'm 22 and just finished university.
would love to work somewhere in the middle east after my pliot training, just cannot decide how to go about this.
Do I train in Qatar where i would be able to get a F/O position in the area after my ATPL. this course costs $110,000
or do I train in Ireland where the course only costs about $90,000

If i train in Ireland i have to go the long way like you guys, i.e build up the hours in europe then apply to the likes of EK and EY or Quatar after i have 4 or 5 thousand hours

and another question for you guys:
why are alot of pilots in US and Europe desperate to go to that region and then when they get there they moan all the time, is the pay THAT good?

thanks in advance for the advice
