Considering Heading to Europe?

Hey guys, and girls
I`m 22 and half way through my CPL training in Australia, and all going to plan i`ll have CPL + MECIR and about 200 hours within next four months. I`ve recently been offered a job as an F.O. flying turboprop twins provided I get a Command Endorsement (self sponsored, in the vicinity of $32k +) once I`ve got my MECIR. However I`ve heard that this kind of money could get me through JAA conversion and a JET TR. My Dad being english gives me eligiblity for a British passport, and some guys over here think i`m nuts not to take the opportunity and go over there, with what seems to be a new trend of Airlines hiring low hour pilots as F.O.`s provided you get your own endorsement.

I`m very keen to start out over here with mentioned job however It`s a massive investment, and I want to make sure I`m making the right decision as this decision will affect me finacially for years to come...
I`m just really confused about it all

Anywho any thoughts are greatly appreciated

cheers, Justin
