I did forget to add what Dream said, the FAA option is very attractive and is something that you should consider before you go. I'm only continuing with the JAA license as I've already got some of the exams under my belt and have started the syllabus.
I couldn't recommend the FAA Commercial aspect however if you are planning to fly in Europe. At best, do the JAA CPL/IR in the UK, otherwise do it in the US. There's plenty of other threads on this subject already for more info, I don't want to turn this into another FAA Vs JAA thread!
