I don't mean to be rude, but I've noticed you've started a lot of threads lately. Have you ever flown an aircraft? Getting your PPL is a small part of the cost in terms of getting your CPL. If you're unsure about the future, want to hedge your bets and just do a PPL, chances are you're unlikely to save much money by going to the states. Why don't you just get going and acquire a PPL in Norway? Once you've done that and got an idea of what flying is all about, you'll be a few months, or a year down the line and have a better idea what the market is doing.
