What you decide to do is dependent on where you want to work and live. If you haven't read the D&G threads about the pilot shortage in Australia, I suggest you do so. For the first time there's a huge shortage of pilots to fly the regional turboprops.

There's a few schemes running around to get people flying so I'd investigate them. At the moment, I'd avoid the Rex scheme. Have a good look at the Qantas scheme.

Hopefully, by the time you've finished training the jobs will still be around. Either way, you're young enough to weather the down turns that hit with alarming regularity every 7-10 years.

Before going to the great expense of shifting continents, have a good look at what Australia can offer.
